All day yesterday, Something Rotten!'s Michael James Scott took BroadwayWorld readers behind the scenes of Broadway's biggest night with an all-day "Renaissance Runway" Instagram takeover. Just in case you weren't following along live, we bring you a recap below!
Michael James Scott (Minstrel / Ensemble) 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.
