‘Something Rotten’ in Georgetown
‘Something Rotten’ in Georgetown
Nominated for 10 Tony Awards, this rollicking show has been called “a valentine to musical theatre.” 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. 04/20/2022 06:27 AM
