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).

    Something Great! Something Rotten!

    One of my all-time favorite plays. Not the first time I have seen it. LIU put on an excellent rendition.

    Clever and fun

    by Karla on 3/17/19Stifel Theatre - St. Louis

    I left the performance thinking - I need to find a way to see this musical again soon! Even bought the soundtrack the next day!

    Hilariously Good Time!

    by ajrellim71 on 3/17/19Emens Auditorium - Muncie

    I didn't know what to expect from this musical, it was something that my daughter picked out after listening to the soundtrack that was suggested by Spotify. She played it for me and I thought that it sounded like it would be a pretty cute show, and it certainly was! We laughed quite a lot! The performers were great and it is a show that I would definitely recommend to others, especially fans of musical theatre and Shakespeare.

    Funniest Show Ever

    by MamaCat54 on 3/17/19Emens Auditorium - Muncie

    This was great! The actors were full of energy, and the music was awesome. I've never laughed so much during a show. The auditorium was first class, with comfortable seats and a good amount of leg room.

    A musical? Yes. A damn funny one.

    by A. T. on 3/16/19Stifel Theatre - St. Louis

    The Stifel theatre is beautiful, first of all. The experience at the theatre was very nice. Something Rotten was amazing. The show was extremely funny and so entertaining. It’s one of my favorite musicals I wish I could go see it again it was so good.

    Just okay

    by D. on 3/16/19Stifel Theatre - St. Louis

    I think it's pretty clear it's a non-union show. Some underwhelming production values. Like a really good college production. The very young cast did their best.

    Fantastic Fun!

    by FAR on 3/16/19Stifel Theatre - St. Louis

    Something Rotten! was wildly funny, entertaining, witty and clever. Have been a fan of the music for a long time and was so glad I finally had the opportunity to see it live; it was a total delight!

    Amazing

    by S. on 3/16/19Stifel Theatre - St. Louis

    I love this show. It's hilarious, fantastically choreographed, well cast(though you can never beat the original cast:) ). It's just an all around fun show that I would watch time and time again.

    Exactly what we were hoping for!

    by Susan and Scott on 3/12/19Tennessee Theatre - Knoxville

    We needed to laugh. We laughed. Hard. And lots. And went home singing new favorite songs. Loved this imaginative behind-the-scenes look at a struggling acting troupe trying to survive in the shadow of The Bard. Loved the integration of modern music and themes. (Glad we didn't bring children or my very conservative parents - it was slightly bawdy, but we expected that; after all, it's about Shakespeare!) Incredibly well performed and worth every penny!

    So funny!!!

    by S. K. on 3/9/19Tennessee Theatre - Knoxville

    It was not like anything I expected. It was so good and very funny. Pay attention because there is a lot of hidden under tones.

    Something Rotten

    by K. H. on 3/6/19Tennessee Theatre - Knoxville

    This performance was the funniest performance I have ever seen. My niece and my faces were sore from laughing, as well as other people's comments when leaving the theater. It was very clever writing and the songs were hilarious. We have never enjoyed anything so much as this production. Thank you for bringing this play to the Tennessee Theater!

    Such a fabulous show!

    by MadLiby on 3/5/19Tennessee Theatre - Knoxville

    I was concerned about the “limited view” seating I had, but I could see everything! The show was hilarious and it had more tap than I thought. I loved the clean and consistent tapping! The set, costumes, and lights were spectacular!! It was a perfect way to end a theatre conference I attended that week.
