The tony-winning smash hit musical - final months!
The Bard of Avon is, as some would have it, the definitive playwright. He's a man whose plays and sonnets have enriched us all for the last 500 years, and is the creator of farcical comedies and terrible tragedies and inventor of hundreds of words in the English language. But enough about that poser, there's a new crack duo in town, and they're here to shake up Shakespeare! Behold the brothers Bottom, the creators of THE MUSICAL!
Something Rotten! is from the director-choreographer behind the decade's biggest smash, The Book of Mormon. With a book from John O' Farrell, this is a look back at the ruffs and doublets of Shakespeare's day, and what it's like to live in the shadow of that renaissance prodigy. Rob McClure and Josh Grisetti shine in their roles of Nick and Nigel Bottom, as they battle against the rock and roll bard.
The play's the thing, or is it?
When faced with trying to create a new play, Nick and Nigel Bottom are at a loss - what will possibly out-class William? When told by a soothsayer that the future of the stage lies in singing, acting and, shudder, dancing, they set out to create something entirely new, something that will change theatre forever.
Workshopped last fall, Something Rotten! promises to be an ode to and celebration of musical theatre, with music and lyrics from Wayne and Karey Kirkpatrick, another brotherly duo who've worked with Eric Clapton and on Hollywood films such as Chicken Run respectively.
Can one desire too much of a good thing? Let's hope not! Because Something Rotten! is on course to be the next mega-watt musical hit! Don't delay in booking your tickets today.
