Now playing at the Briggs Opera House- the hilarious and joyful Something Rotten! Something Rotten! delighted audiences on Broadway in 2015 and garnered seven Tony nominations. Christian Borle won a Tony as Best Actor that year with his turn as the Renaissance rock star, William Shakespeare.
Time Out New York hailed it as the funniest musical in 400 years. A mash-up of 16th century Shakespeare and 21st century Broadway, this musical farce is filled with word play, musical, historical and Shakespeare references. Come and laugh with us about the creation of the world's first musical. Tickets are on sale now.
