Wayne Kirkpatrick, Karey Kirkpatrick, and John O’Farrell’s 'Something Rotten!' arrived at the St. James Theatre in 2015, running for an astonishing 742 performances and capturing ten major Tony Award nominations including Best Musical. Conceived as a hyper-kinetic, blisteringly funny musical comedy pastiche masterclass, the breathless farcical plot unfolds in Renaissance London in 1595, tracking Nick and Nigel Bottom, two desperate playwright brothers who orchestrate a frantic campaign to out-maneuver corporate rival William Shakespeare by staging the world's very first musical. Directed by Casey Nicholaw.
