About

With 10 Tony® nominations including Best Musical, SOMETHING ROTTEN! is a “big, fat hit!” (New York Post). Set in the ‘90s – the 1590s – this hilarious smash tells the story of Nick and Nigel Bottom (Tony® nominee Rob McClure and Broadway’s Josh Grisetti), two brothers who are desperate to write their own hit play while the "rock star" Shakespeare (Tony® nominee Adam Pascal) keeps getting all the hits. When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of theatre involves singing, dancing and acting at the same time, Nick and Nigel set out to write the world’s very first MUSICAL! With its heart on its ruffled sleeve and sequins in its soul, SOMETHING ROTTEN! is “The Producers + Spamalot + The Book of Mormon. Squared!” (New York Magazine).

    Laugh-out-loud fun and energy-filled!!

    by Oldrivergirl on 7/14/17Oriental Theatre Chicago - Chicago

    The cast gets a workout on this one! So much talent and energy on stage. The writing is quick and clever and the delivery was spot on. The sound system made it a little difficult to delineate words in a couple of numbers so I hope that gets adjusted. You probably have to be a theater geek to get a lot of the references but I am so it was hilarious!!! Kudos to the cast for making it seem like it was opening night and closing night and that we were all dignitaries in the audience. So refreshing to enjoy an original story line. Crazy that there were empty seats. I hope that word of mouth will convince theater goers that this is a MUST SEE!

    Something Rotten is spectacular! Adam Pascal's performance is spot on as is the rest of the cast. A must see!
