“Something Rotten” Opens Tonight at RCT 

Set in the 1590s, this Broadway smash hit follows brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom as they try to step out of Shakespeare’s spotlight and create the world’s very first musical—with the help of a rather inaccurate soothsayer and a cast of over-the-top characters who dance, sing and rhyme their way through Elizabethan England. Rated PG-13.
