Book by Karey Kirkpatrick and John O’Farrell

Set in 1595, this hilarious smash hit tells the story of Nick and Nigel Bottom, two brothers who are desperate to write a hit play. 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!

We desperately need “Something Rotten” now. Indeed, it is an escapist musical whose hilarity, celebration, and send up of musical theater and Shakespeare will whisk you away from our troubled world for about two-and-a-half hours, including an intermission.

I can honestly state that Something Rotten! remains one of my all-time favorite musicals. Though I’d first discovered it years ago, as Slow Burn’s beautifully crafted version commenced, I found myself fondly recalling many a key scene.
