“Something Rotten” is a hilarious musical comedy that takes a playful and irreverent look at the world of Renaissance theater. Set in the 1590s, the show follows the Bottom brothers, Nick and Nigel, who are struggling to make a name for themselves in the shadow of their contemporary, William Shakespeare. Later this month Hampton High School will bring this show to life on their stage.

As they try to come up with a hit play that will rival the success of Shakespeare’s shows, they turn to a soothsayer for help, who advises them to write a musical. The brothers are skeptical at first, but soon find themselves diving headfirst into the wild and wacky world of musical theater.

With catchy songs, clever wordplay, and larger-than-life characters, “Something Rotten” is a must-see for anyone who loves a good laugh. This high school production promises to deliver all the fun and excitement of the original Broadway show, with a talented cast of young performers bringing the story to life.

Audiences can look forward to seeing outrageous costumes, colorful sets, and some of the catchiest tunes in musical theater history, including “Welcome to the Renaissance,” “God, I Hate Shakespeare,” and “Hard to Be the Bard.”

So come join the Bottom brothers on their hilarious journey through the world of theater, and get ready to laugh, sing, and dance along with the cast of “Something Rotten!” The show hits the stage April 21-29 at Hampton Township High School, 2929 McCully Rd, Allison Park, Pennsylvania.
