Welcome to the Renaissance… where the biggest rivalry in theatre history begins.
In the 1590s, brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom are desperate to write a hit play—but they keep getting overshadowed by the wildly popular William Shakespeare. When a soothsayer predicts that the future of theatre will involve singing, dancing, and acting all at once, the Bottom brothers set out to create the world’s very first musical.
Packed with outrageous comedy, show-stopping songs, and clever nods to Broadway classics, Something Rotten! is a hilarious love letter to theatre.
