SHOW SYNOPSIS:
Set in the 1590s, brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom are desperate to write a hit play but are stuck in the shadow of that Renaissance rock star known as "The Bard." 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.
Something Rotten features large song and dance numbers, and a wacky cast of over-the-top characters, each with their own moment to shine. Throughout its Broadway run, the musical received a show-stopping standing ovation from audiences... in the beginning of the first act! It’s become clear that “nothing’s as amazing as a musical,” so don’t miss your chance to perform in this history-twisting tale.
REHEARSALS:
Rehearsals will be scheduled Sunday through Thursday from 6-9:30PM. Not all performers will be called to each rehearsal.
PARTICIPATION FEE:
Those participating in the show will be required to pay a $100 participation fee, which can be offset with playbill ad sales.
