The completely new musical “Something
Rotten!”, originally directed and choreographed on Broadway by Tony
Award-winner Casey Nicholaw (Mean
Girls, The Book of Mormon, Aladdin), with music and lyrics by Grammy
Award-winner and Tony Award nominee Wayne Kirkpatrick and Golden
Globe Award and Tony Award nominee Karey Kirkpatrick and a book by Tony Award nominees

opens at Thrasher-Horne Center in Orange Park, FL.
About the Show: This hilarious new
musical comedy 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! With the most singing, the most dancing and
the most gut-busting laughs on Broadway, it's something wonderful... something
for everyone... Something Rotten! is, "the funniest musical comedy in at
least 400 years" (Time Out
New York)! Nominated for 10 Tony
Awards, including Best Musical, Something Rotten! is “a deliriously entertaining new
musical comedy that brings down the house!” (New York Post).
With its heart on its ruffled sleeve and sequins in its soul, “Something Rotten!” is an uproarious dose
of pure Broadway fun and an irresistible ode to musicals — those dazzling
creations that entertain us, inspire us, and remind us that everything’s better
with an exclamation point!
