In this side-splitting Broadway hit, brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom are struggling playwrights trying to compete with William Shakespeare, the rock star of the Renaissance. Desperate for success, they create the world’s first musical—complete with dancing eggs, breakfast puns, and Shakespearean sass. Overflowing with clever humor, dazzling numbers, and outrageous nods to beloved musicals, Something Rotten! is a laugh-out-loud celebration of creativity and the chaos of chasing your dreams.
