Thursday will feature a cast Q&A just for our AARP members and their guests. This will take place immediately following the performance in the front rows of Uihlein Hall.

SOMETHING ROTTEN! is “Broadway’s big, fat hit!” ( New York Post). Set in 1595, this hilarious smash tells the story of Nick and Nigel Bottom, two brothers who are desperate to write a hit play.

When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of theatre involves singing, dancing and acting at the same time, Nick and Nigel set out to write the world’s very first musical! With its heart on its ruffled sleeve and sequins in its soul,  SOMETHING ROTTEN! is “ The Producers +  Spamalot +  The Book of Mormon. Squared!” ( New York Magazine).
