Mark your calendar for the MTRS production of
Something Rotten! Jr. on
Friday, March 13 at 7 p.m. and Saturday March 14 at 1:00 p.m. and 7 p.m.
at the Mohawk Trail Regional School auditorium.
Mohawk Trail Regional student actors will present the story of two brothers who set out to write the worldโs first musical in this hilarious mash-up of sixteenth-century Shakespeare and twenty-first-century Broadway. The show was created by Grammy Awardโwinning songwriter Wayne Kirkpatrick, and successful screenwriters Karey Kirkpatrick and John OโFarrell.
Set in the 1590s, brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom are desperate to write a hit play but are stuck in the shadow of that Renaissance rock star known as "The Bard." When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of theatre involves singing, dancing, and acting at the same time, Nick and Nigel set out to write the worldโs very first musical. But amidst the scandalous excitement of opening night, the Bottom Brothers realize that reaching the top means being true to thine own self, and all that jazz.
Something Rotten! JR. is presented through special arrangement with, and all authorized materials are supplied by, Music Theatre International 423 West 55th Street, New York, NY, 10019, 212-541-4684, mtishows.com.
