SOMETHING ROTTEN HALF KEY ART 4C

Something Rotten!

How was the musical theater form invented? Come and find out (sort of) in our wildly funny summer musical, "Something Rotten!"

June 14th – July 16th

Directed by Gwen Overland

Choreographed by Rebecca K. Campbell

Starring: Evan Heintz, Cody Pettit, Declan Whitworth, Katie Joos, and Aubrey Campbell

 

Our summer blockbuster musical is set in the 1590s, brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom are desperate to write a hit play but are stuck in the shadow of that Renaissance rock star, William  Shakespeare. 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. But  amidst the scandalous excitement of opening night, the Bottom Brothers realize that reaching the top means being true to thine own self… and all that jazz.

“Something Rotten!” opened on Broadway on April 22, 2015, where it ran for 708 performances. It was nominated for ten Tony Awards, including Best Musical.
