ABOUT THE SHOW

Scullions! Rampallians! Rascals! Lend us your ears!

 

In the 1590s, wayward brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom are desperate to find fame but are firmly in the shade of that roguish Renaissance rockstar, “The Bard.” When a mischievous wise man predicts that the future of theatre will meld singing, dancing and acting, Nick and Nigel decide to write the world’s very first musical. However, by a fraught and hilarious opening night of dandy standards, both Bottom brothers realize that ‘true to thine own self’ might just save their skins. Join us for this jolly, light-hearted romp which will have you tapping your feet and rolling in the aisles. Welcome to the Renaissance!

Performances: Tuesday through Saturday (7:30 p.m.) and Sunday matinees (2 p.m.)

Running time: 2 hours and 35 minutes with one intermission (approx.)

Audience: PG13

SOMETHING ROTTEN! is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI.
