Set in the vibrant world of Renaissance England, Something Rotten! follows the Bottom brothers, Nick and Nigel, two playwrights desperate to create the next big hit.

But with William Shakespeare stealing the spotlight as the most popular playwright of the time, the brothers need something truly original to stand out. When a quirky soothsayer predicts that the future of theater involves singing, dancing, and acting—all at the same time—they set out to write the world’s very first musical!

What follows is a riotous romp filled with catchy songs, outrageous dance numbers, and non-stop humor that pokes fun at everything from Shakespeare to Broadway itself. With its clever script, unforgettable characters, and a score that’s as infectious as it is entertaining, Something Rotten! is a joyous celebration of theater that will leave you grinning from ear to ear.
