Every great journey begins with a wild idea! Step into the Renaissance—sort of—in this side-splitting musical where two desperate playwrights hatch a daring plan to outshine Shakespeare—by inventing the musical. Packed with witty wordplay, dazzling choreography, and theatrical chaos, Something Rotten is a madcap quest through ambition, absurdity, and creative brilliance.
“We’re thrilled to bring Something Rotten! to the Memorial Opera House stage, a laugh-out-loud, high-energy musical that celebrates the joy of live theatre while kicking off an unforgettable season” says Venue Director, Scot MacDonald.
Production Director Christy Vice adds ““Directing Something Rotten! has been an absolute joy, this show is smart, outrageous, and bursting with heart, and I’m continually blown away by the incredible talent, energy, and commitment this cast brings to the stage every single day.”
