Something Rotten Musical Tickets

Laugh along to a Broadway hit when you grab Something Rotten tickets. Written by Karey Kirkpatrick and John O'Farrell, with music by Kirkpatrick and Mark Hollmann, Something Rotten! is a side-splitting musical comedy. Set in 1595, the musical brings the rivalry between two brothers, Nick and Nigel Bottom, and the iconic William Shakespeare to the stage. The plot centers on the Bottom brothers, struggling playwrights in Elizabethan England, who are desperate to make a name for themselves in the competitive world of theater.

When Nick discovers that Shakespeare, an egotistical rival, is writing a hit play titled Hamlet, he sets out to create the next big thing by consulting a soothsayer, who predicts that the future of theater will include musicals. This revelation leads to the creation of Omelette, a comedic musical inspired by Shakespeare's Hamlet.

Something Rotten! debuted on Broadway at the St. James Theatre in March 2015, and ran for 742 performances before closing in 2017. Some of the show's popular songs include "Welcome to the Renaissance," "God, I Hate Shakespeare" and "Hard to Be the Bard." These songs helped give the show its comedic flair and contribute to its cult following. Enjoy the fun of this laugh-out-loud musical when you buy Something Rotten tickets.

Something Rotten! was nominated for ten Tony Awards in 2015 and won Best Featured Actor in a Musical for Christian Borle’s portrayal of Shakespeare. It was also nominated for a 2016 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album for the original cast recording. Beyond its Broadway run, the show has seen touring productions in the United Kingdom and South Korea. The production also received significant attention in various regional theaters across the U.S.
