Description:

Tighten your corset, roll up your hose, and fluff the ruffles on your doublet—something new is brewing on Broadway. Get in on all the rowdy, tomato-tossing fun as you're swept into the time of Shakespeare—Britain's bad-boy playwright—by the comical antics and toe-tapping tunes of Something Rotten!

Produced and directed by the creative minds behind Broadway hits like Avenue Q, Rent, Aladdin, and The Book of Mormon, this brand new musical comedy blends contemporary music and Elizabethan atmosphere for a gleeful romp through the 16th century. From the rousing opener “Welcome to the Renaissance” to catchy numbers like “God, I Hate Shakespeare,” the Tony-nominated cast delights as they tap dance through this meta musical about creating the musical.

Meet scrappy brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom, who are trying to make a name for themselves as would-be playwrights, but struggling in the shadow of Shakespeare—the rockstar bard himself. When dubious soothsayer Nostradamus predicts the next big thing in theater will meld music, dancing, and acting all at once, the brothers put quill to paper to create the world's very first musical.

You don't need to be a Shakespeare buff to laugh along. A modern pop soundtrack and rock 'n' roll sensibility destine this totally original show for cult-classic status. So join along as this hilarious ode to the musical transports you to the stages of a bygone era, tackling the absurdity of celebrity, stardom, and success along the way.
