Get ready to laugh out loud as HappyPlace Productions presents the smash-hit musical Something Rotten!—a side-splitting, song-filled spectacle the whole family will enjoy. This lively, all-ages production hits the stage at the La-Z-Boy Center’s Meyer Theater on the campus of Monroe County Community College for one unforgettable weekend only!
Set in the whimsical world of Elizabethan England, Something Rotten! follows the misadventures of brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom, two struggling playwrights desperate to compete with the rockstar of the Renaissance—none other than William Shakespeare. In their quest to outshine the Bard, the Bottom brothers stumble upon a zany idea: create the world’s very first musical. What follows is a madcap journey filled with outrageous characters, toe-tapping tunes, Renaissance references, and plenty of theatrical chaos.
Whether you’re a Shakespeare lover, a musical theater fan or just in need of a good laugh, Something Rotten! promises to deliver a night of entertainment packed with witty wordplay, clever satire and high-energy performances.
