Brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom are desperate to write a hit play, but are stuck in the shadow of that Renaissance rock star known as โThe Bard.โ 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 worldโs very first musical. Something Rotten! is an irresistible ode to musicals and a dose of pure Broadway fun. Hailed by Time Out New York as โthe funniest musical comedy in at least 400 years.โ
