Reviewers described it as “so good and such fun that you will be laughing from start to finish”, audiences flocked to The Shed in near record-numbers from November through January.

 Set in England in 1595, playwright brothers, Nick and Nigel Bottom can’t compete with the rockstar popularity of a certain William Shakespeare. Desperate to out-Bard the Bard, Nick consults a soothsayer and learns that the next big thing in theatre will be a MUSICAL—a play where “an actor is saying his lines, and out of nowhere he just starts singing”—but “nothing’s as amazing as a musical!”

The Bottom brothers set out to write the world’s very first musical, Omelette, while caught in a bitter battle with Shakespeare. Meanwhile, Nick’s wife Bea is disguising herself as a man and Nigel has fallen in love with Portia, a puritan’s daughter. Filled with wordplay, musical, historical, and Shakespearean references, Something Rotten! is a hilarious celebration of musical theatre with something for everyone.
