VIDEO: Rob McClure Leads SOMETHING ROTTEN! Cast in Parody 'Tony Nomination Time'

As you may recall, last year around this time the cast of SOMETHING ROTTEN! honored the 2015 Tony Award nominees with Minstrel Michael James Scott and his cast mates singing a parody of their opening number, "Welcome To The Renaissance" as "Welcome To The Tony Race." (click here to enjoy it again)

This year the new Bottom in town, Rob McClure, who just leaped into the role of Nick Bottom, replacing the departing Brian d'Arcy James, has the honor of singing lead for a parody of "Bottom's Gonna Be on Top" as "Tony Nomination Time."

As rotten parodies go, it's a pretty rousing number.

More new cast members will be welcomed into SOMETHING ROTTEN later this summer. Theatre World Award winner Josh Grisetti (IT SHOULDA BEEN YOU), Lortel Award winner Leslie Kritzer (THE ROBBER BRIDEGROOM) and current SOMETHING ROTTEN! ensemble member Catherine Brunell will begin performances on Monday, July 18 as Nigel Bottom, Bea and Portia, respectively. Current stars John Cariani, Kate Reinders, and Heidi Blickenstaff will play their final performances on Saturday, July 16.
