Something Rotten! transports audiences back to the 1500s, following the Bottom brothers as they take on William Shakespeare and create the first ever musical. Having opened on Broadway last year, Something Rotten! has a genius score written by Wayne Kirkpatrick and Karey Kirkpatrick. With theatrical references galore, the show truly is stagey heaven.
