Set in the 1590s, Something Rotten! is a hilarious, high-energy musical that imagines the world’s very first musical — long before Broadway was even a dream. The story follows brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom, two struggling playwrights living in the shadow of William Shakespeare, the Renaissance rock star of the stage. Desperate to outshine the Bard and write a hit show of their own, the brothers turn to a soothsayer for inspiration — and learn that the future of theater involves singing, dancing, and acting… all at the same time!

Packed with clever wordplay, show-stopping dance numbers, and over-the-top musical tributes, Something Rotten! is a celebration of creativity, ambition, and the chaotic fun of putting on a show. Audiences will love its witty nods to Shakespeare and Broadway alike — from Hamlet to Les Misérables — in a story that’s equal parts heartwarming and hysterical.

Join us this spring for a joyful, laugh-out-loud romp through the Renaissance that proves that when it comes to following your dreams, sometimes you just have to make something up — and make it musical!
