Nominated for ten Tony Awards including Best Musical, Something Rotten! is a musical comedy set in 1595 about brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom striving to compete in a theater industry that includes William Shakespeare. The show opened at the St. James Theatre on April 22, 2015 with music and lyrics by Wayne and Karey Kirkpatrick and a book by John O'Farrell and Karey Kirkpatrick (screenwriter of James and the Giant Peach and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy , among others). The original Broadway cast recording was made April 27 with a cast that included Brian d'Arcy, John Cariani, Heidi Blickenstaff, Brad Oscar, and Christian Borle, who won a Tony for his featured role as Shakespeare. It's highlighted by the big dance number "A Musical," which, with a little help from Nostradamus, is packed with references to modern (to 2015) Broadway hits. ~ Marcy Donelson, Rovi
