Award-winning Broadway production coming to the Benedum
The completely original new musical “Something Rotten!” opens at the Benedum Center, Pittsburgh, Jan. 31, with performances through Feb. 5. This tour is part of the PNC Broadway in Pittsburgh series.
“Something Rotten!” was nominated for 10 Tony Awards, including Best Musical. The Broadway production concluded its critically acclaimed run on January 1, 2017, following 742 performances.
From the director of “Aladdin,” co-director of “The Book of Mormon,” and the producer of “Rent,” “Avenue Q” and “In the Heights,” this hilarious new musical comedy tells the story of brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom, two playwrights stuck in the shadow of that Renaissance rockstar Will Shakespeare.
When a soothsayer foretells the next big thing in theatre involves singing, dancing and acting at the same time, the Bottom brothers set out to write the world’s very first musical.
