Something Rotten!

May 4, 2022 to June 19, 2022
Mainstage Theatre

Update as of June 17, 2022:

We are so sorry to advise that all remaining performances of Something Rotten! have been canceled.

For those who had tickets for the remaining performances, please watch your email inbox for an email with a form discussing possible options for your tickets.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and disappointment for the cancelation. The health and safety of our performers is important to us and we appreciate your understanding.

 

Act One: 1 hour and 10 minutes
Intermission: 15 minutes
Act Two: 52 minutes

It’s the musical extravaganza you didn’t know you needed!

Not content to let William Shakespeare get all the attention, the conniving but clueless Bottom brothers hatch a plan to cook up the next big stage hit. After an ill-advised trip to see Nostradamus’s food-obsessed nephew, they risk everything to produce what they believe will be the show of the future: the musical! Combining everything you love about Broadway—big dance numbers, bold costumes, and eye-rolling off-stage antics!
