Something Rotten! at Nebraska Communities Playhouse

Welcome to the Renaissance! This outrageous, laugh-out-loud musical comedy follows brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom as they struggle to make a name for themselves in the shadow of Shakespeare, the ultimate rock star of the 1590s. When a soothsayer predicts that the future of theatre will combine singing, dancing, and acting all at once, the Bottom brothers set out to write the world’s very first musical. Packed with over-the-top characters, side-splitting humor, and show-stopping numbers, Something Rotten! is a love letter to Broadway and a wink to every theater fan. With nods to classic musicals and a score that will have you humming long after the curtain falls, it proves once and for all that “nothing’s as amazing as a musical.”
