Shakespeare was a pretty cool dude. Although not a rabid fan of his plays, he is most definitely the King of Quotable Quotes. And now there’s a play for those of us who are both the aforementioned rabid fans and for those of us who don’t find it that difficult to turn down a play by William S. SOMETHING ROTTEN! has taken the best of the Bard, set it to music, added some very clever choreography, and turned Shakespeare’s words into a rollicking farce. Throw in some sexual innuendos, memorable songs like “It’s Hard To Be The Bard” and “God, I Hate Shakespeare,” a few big-time production numbers like ”Make An Omelette,” and tons of sophisticated sarcasm that tell a convoluted story, and you have a delightful romp through many of the classics. A fabulous ensemble, magnificent costumes, fun props and scenery, and before you know it, you’ve just had an awe-inspiring evening of Shakespeare. SOMETHING ROTTEN! should not be missed! It’s nothing but fun.
