With a book by Karey Kirkpatrick and John O'Farrell, and music and lyrics by Wayne Kirkpatrick and Karey Kirkpatrick, the story follows brothers, Nick and Nigel Bottom, and their rivalry with the literary rock star of the day, William Shakespeare. Not content to let Shakespeare get all the attention, Nick, the eldest Bottom, hatches a plan to cook up the next big stage hit. After an ill-advised trip to see Nostradamus's nephew, Thomas, Nick risks everything to produce what he believes will be the show of the future: a musical! Featuring a cast of 20, a full orchestra, sets, and elaborate, intricately choreographed, show-stopping dance numbers, "Something Rotten!" combines everything you love about Broadway with numerous nods to some of the most beloved musicals to ever grace the stage.
