Something Rotten! at Kimmel Center [Merriam Theater

The musical comedy, according to press notes, “tells the story of brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom, two playwrights stuck in the shadow of that Renaissance rockstar Will Shakespeare. When a soothsayer foretells the next big thing in theatre involves singing, dancing and acting at the same time, the Bottom brothers set out to write the world's very first MUSICAL!”
Producer Kevin McCollum announced that the national tour of the Tony-nominated musical Something Rotten!, which continues at Broadway's St. James Theatre, will launch January 17-29, 2017, at the Boston Opera House following a preview period at Proctors in Schenectady, NY.
Directed and choreographed by Tony Award winner Casey Nicholaw, Something Rotten! has music and lyrics by Grammy Award winner Wayne Kirkpatrick and Golden Globe Award nominee Karey Kirkpatrick and a book by Karey Kirkpatrick and author John O'Farrell.
