Take a look at some of the moments waiting for you when the curtain rises this weekend—we can't wait to welcome audiences into the wonderfully ridiculous world of Something Rotten!

🥚 3 DAYS UNTIL OPENING NIGHT! 🥚

The countdown is on! In just three days, the Bottom brothers will take the stage in their desperate quest to outshine Shakespeare and save their struggling theater company.

Filled with outrageous comedy, unforgettable songs, and countless Broadway references, Something Rotten! is the hilarious hit you won't want to miss.
