The WVU School of Theatre and Dance presents the uproariously funny musical “Something Rotten!” from April 23-26 at the WVU Canady Creative Arts Center Lyell B. Clay Concert Theatre.
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 world’s 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!” runs April 23-25 at 7:30 p.m. and April 26 at 2 p.m. in the Lyell B. Clay Concert Theatre at the WVU Canady Creative Arts Center. Tickets are $25 for adults, $20 for seniors and $15 for children. Purchase tickets online at go.wvu.edu/somethingrotten, by phone at 304-293-SHOW or in person at the box office located in the main lobby of the WVU Canady Creative Arts Center, Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
