SOMETHING ROTTEN! is the outrageous Broadway smash that asks the ultimate question: what if Shakespeare had competition? It’s the English Renaissance and this wildly funny musical follows two brothers as they struggle to write a hit play in the shadow of a certain rock-star playwright. Desperate to outshine him, they turn to Nostradamus who predicts the future of theatre… and it’s all singing, all dancing, and completely ridiculous.
