HUZZAH Y'all!!! Something Rotten's Michael James Scott took over Instagram yesterday for The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, taking BroadwayWorld readers behind the scenes of the biggest parade of the year. Miss the #SomethingFierce takeover? No worries- we've got highlights from his Turkey Day coverage below. Be sure to check out the full takeover on BroadwayWorld's Official Instagram.

Michael James Scott is best known for originating the role of Dr. Gostwana (aka "The Maggots Guy") in The Book of Mormon and most recently was seen playing "The Blue Guy" as the original standby for The Genie in Disney's Aladdin. Broadway: Mamma Mia!, All Shook Up, The Pirate Queen, Tarzan, Hair and Elf. West End: Assoc. Choreo Hair. Other: standby/perf'd for Ben Vereen (int'l tour) of Fosse. Here's to Joe opposite Donna McKechnie,Jerry Springer: The Opera (Carnegie Hall). Jersey Boys (Original Las Vegas Cast), Donkey in Shrek (The Muny), Mereb in Aida (The Muny), and member of the critically acclaimed group The Broadway Boys. Tweetgram: @iamMJScott

From the co-director of The Book of Mormon and the producer of Avenue Q comes something original... something fresh...Something Rotten!, a world-premiere musical comedy about the musical comedy that started it all. Welcome to the '90s - the 1590s - long before the dawn of premium tickets, star casting and reminders to turn off your cell phones. Brothers Nick (d'Arcy James) and Nigel Bottom (Cariani) are desperate to write a hit play but are stuck in the shadow of that Renaissance rockstar known as "The Bard" (Borle). When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of theatre 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.

With its heart on its ruffled sleeve and sequins in its soul, Something Rotten! is an uproarious dose of pure Broadway fun and an irresistible ode to musicals - those dazzling creations that entertain us, inspire us, and remind us that everything's better with an exclamation point!
