Broadway’s Smash Musical, “Something Rotten!” Comes to the Historic Masonic Theatre.
New Bern’s Rivertowne Players present Something Rotten! This hilarious musical comedy tells the story of brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom, two playwrights stuck in the shadow of that Renaissance rockstar Will Shakespeare. When a soothsayer foretells the next big thing in theatre involves singing, dancing and acting at the same time, the Bottom brothers set out to write the world's very first musical. Packed with show-stopping musical numbers and a hilariously eccentric cast of characters, Something Rotten! is a laugh-out-loud celebration of creativity, ambition, and the magic of theatre.
Music & Lyrics by Wayne Kirkpatrick and Karey Kirkpatrick Conceived by Karey Kirkpatrick and Wayne Kirkpatrick. *Something Rotten is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).
