Registration is Now Open for this Hilarious Story About Creating the World’s First Musical
Ten-time Tony Award Nominee including Best Musical, Something Rotten! JR. was hailed by Time Out New York as “the funniest musical comedy in at least 400 years.” Set in the 1590s, brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom desperately try to claw their way out from under the shadow of the Renaissance’s most famous rock star, William Shakespeare. When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of theatre involves singing, dancing and acting at the same time, the brothers set out to write the world’s very first musical.
Directed by Artistic Director Tina Reynolds
Choreography by Rachel Caron
Music Direction by Cameron Burgess
Open to Performers entering grades 9-12 in the Fall, up to age 19
