It’s the 1590s - welcome to the Renaissance! Brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom are desperate to write a hit play but are stuck in the shadow of Shakespeare, that Renaissance rock star known also as “The Bard.” When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of theatre involves singing, dancing, and acting at the same time, Nick and Nigel set out to write the world’s very first musical. But amidst the scandalous excitement of opening night, the Bottom Brothers realize that reaching the top means being true to thine own self, and all that jazz. This hilarious mash-up of sixteenth-century Shakespeare and twenty-first-century Broadway garnered ten Tony Award nominations!
Show dates are August 29 – September 21, 2025, Friday & Saturday at 7:30 pm and Sunday at 2 pm. Tickets will be available later this summer. Something Rotten! is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International, (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com.
