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).
Already bought the soundtrack. The title is a bit off putting until you realize that it's a play on the line from Hamlet but I'm glad I overcame that and went. One of my favorite musicals of this decade.
Something Rotten is a wonderful show that had me laughing and smiling from the opening number until the curtain call. This show received a standing ovation during Act One for a fabulous production number! It is a little risque but nothing too over the top. If you like Theater you will love this show, if you like Shakespeare you will love this show, and if you like to laugh you will love this show!
