Something Rotten

Book by John O'Farrell and Karey Kirkpatrick.

Music and lyrics by Karey and Wayne Kirkpatrick.

May 8–17, 2026

Welcome to the Renaissance! In Something Rotten, a hilarious musical comedy, brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom are determined to write a hit—but they’re stuck in the shadow of Shakespeare. When a wacky soothsayer predicts that musicals are the future, they try to write the world’s first one… with outrageous results. Full of big song-and-dance numbers and over-the-top characters, this crowd-pleasing show is a fun, fast-paced celebration of theatre itself.
