THEATER

St. James Theater
Something's Rotten!

Visit the Renaissance in this hilarious musical about the Bottom Brothers, who are desperate to write a hit play in the shadow of "The Bard."

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 rockstar known as “The Bard.” When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of theater 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.

Ingenious, outrageous and irresistible!
