Hard To Be The Bard (Music Video) | Stratford Festival 2024

“Something Rotten! is a wonderful comedy, with a great book, songs and huge dance numbers. It’s full of laughter, passion and heart, and we want to deliver an experience that gives the audience all of that.” —Director Donna Feore

SOMETHING ROTTEN!
Book by Karey Kirkpatrick and John O'farrell
Music and Lyrics by Wayne Kirkpatrick and Karey Kirkpatrick
Conceived by Karey Kirkpatrick and Wayne Kirkpatrick
Directed and Choreographed By Donna Feore

The Bottom brothers, two struggling playwrights in Renaissance London, need a hit. That’s easier said than done when your chief competition is local rockstar William Shakespeare. The Bottom brothers’ plan: write the world’s first musical! This rollicking song-and-dance extravaganza, which was nominated for ten Tony Awards during its smash Broadway run, sends up the Bard and Broadway and everything in between. Best of all, it can be enjoyed without CliffsNotes!
