Get ready to laugh, sing, and dance as two brothers set out to write the world’s first musical in this clever mash-up of sixteenth-century Shakespeare and twenty-first-century Broadway!
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.
Following the success of last year’s production of The Wedding Singer—which earned multiple Hershey Apollo Awards, including Best Musical and Best Dance Number—our students are raising the curtain on another unforgettable performance.
We are deeply grateful for the community’s continued support of McCaskey Performing Arts and hope to see you in the audience this spring as we bring Something Rotten! to life!
