In the most delightful case of déjà vu, Stratford Festival audiences once again can take in Director/Choreographer Donna Feore’s masterful production of SOMETHING ROTTEN (last seen in 2024) at the Festival Theatre this season. For a production that is being repeated, it is ironically part of a lot of firsts! This is the first time (in my recollection) that a show has been brought back by popular demand, and it is also the first time Feore has both musicals on the Festival Theatre stage (with mostly the same company of actors between them). What is affectionately being called SOMETHING ROTTEN 2.0 opened to thunderous applause (and two mid-show ovations) Friday night and I've never been able to say with more certainty that it will be a hit!

When it was announced last fall that the Stratford Festival would be mounting a production of SOMETHING ROTTEN with Director/Choreographer Donna Feore at the helm, it immediately made perfect sense. A show set in Elizabethan times that sends up Shakespeare and Musicals alike, with the Bard himself as a character – is instantly made funnier and more meta when it takes place on the Festival Theatre stage. This stellar cast fires on all cylinders in a show that simultaneously celebrates and pokes fun at the performances audiences have come to know and love on this very stage.
