Something Rotten

(Nov 10-12 and 17-19, 2023)

Event Flyer

Two brothers set out to write the world’s first musical in this hilarious mash-up of sixteenth-century Shakespeare and twenty-first-century Broadway.

Welcome to the Renaissance and the outrageous, crowd-pleasing musical farce, Something Rotten.  Created by Grammy Award-winning songwriter Wayne Kirkpatrick, and successful screenwriters Karey Kirkpatrick and John O’Farrell, Something Rotten was lauded by audience members and critics alike, receiving several Best Musical nominations and 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 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.

 

Throughout its Broadway run, the musical received a show-stopping standing ovation from audiences... in the beginning of the first act!  It’s become clear that “nothing’s as amazing as a musical.”

     Love it. Fantastic cast, all strong characters. The play is so cleverly executed and written. I cannot recall if it was billed as “adult theme” due to the language. It was a bit disconcerting to hear cuss words.

     Absolutely delightful experience! Physical improvements to theatre, such as lighting and sound system, are evident, and obviously impacted the quality of the performance. Costumes, sets, and backdrops are impressive. to take on a Broadway musical with singing, dancing, and extended cast size is quite the challenge, which Stagecrafters certainly mastered and delivered. The event was a comedic success. Thanks for pure, but somewhat naughty, entertainment.

 This was a knockout show by a talented group of performers. The costumes and lighting were spot on. The new sound system allowed every syllable to be heard. This show is full of humor and romance, singing and dancing. Really, I had no idea there were that many tap dancers in the area. Something Rotten is a celebration of the best in musicals with all the elements of the hit show that ran on Broadway with references to Shakespeare and celebrated shows from the past. Wow!

 This performance has to be one of the best we've seen put on by Stage Crafters to date. Granted, our experience only extends back the last two seasons, but this show was truly a standout. The script, of course, is inherently funny but the direction was top notch and the entire cast killed it! We're eagerly awaiting the 2024 season!

How did you like the event?

     The energy, talent and performances were stellar but the raunchiness throughout ruined my enjoyment. It could have been delightful and clever, Instead in most cases the cheap, easy way and base humor was presented. Sadly I will not recommend this play to anyone. I have enjoyed Stage crafters very much in the past. Beyond disappointed.

My husband and I both laughed out loud and were still singing and humming the next day. Thanks for a great evening of theater!! The updated sound system, lighting and curtain added to the experience. Kudos to the cast and crew!

 This show is hilarious, and I highly recommend this production. There are so many laughs, and if you are a Broadway buff, identifying all of the references to well-known musicals and Shakespeare plays/contemporaries is that much more fun.

How did you like the event?

  I wasn't sure what this play was about, and the advertisement didn't reveal a lot about the story. The first part was funny, but it wasn't family friendly and there were kids behind us too young for the jokes. The second part seemed to just drag on like the writer had nothing left to say but needed to just add time. I caught myself hoping the play would end soon way to early. It was almost torture to have to wait for an end that wasn't worth the wait. Play lived up to name.

How did you like the event?

   The only critique would be the slightly low volume and the unevenness of the volume among different actors. Several lines were lost due to the low volume but it did not significantly detract from our experience. The cast, direction, choreography set and AV all deserve Kudos. Thanks for a wonderful experience during our off season stay at Waterscape.
