Something Rotten! bursts onto the Curtis Theatre stage, a vibrant collaboration with Southgate Productions, delivering a side-splitting musical comedy that brilliantly blends Shakespearean satire with Broadway spectacle.
Desperate to escape the shadow of the Bard, struggling playwright brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom seek theatrical glory. A soothsayer's outrageous prediction leads them to an unexpected solution: they'll invent the next big thing – the musical! Packed with dazzling tap numbers, clever lyrics that skewer theatrical conventions, and infectious tunes that will have you humming along, Something Rotten! promises an uproarious and unforgettable experience for audiences of all ages. Prepare for a riotous journey through Renaissance England, where ambition, absurdity, and the birth of a theatrical phenomenon collide.
Content Advisory: Some mild innuendos and theatrical satire may not be suitable for younger audiences.
