"Something Rotten!" is a playful celebration of musical theatre that blends comedy, catchy songs and clever references to some of Broadway's biggest classics.
Waterfront Theatre School brings the South African premiere of the Tony Award–nominated musical comedy "Something Rotten!" to the stage, tap-dancing, jazz-filled celebration of theatre itself.
Set in the Renaissance, it follows two struggling playwrights who grow tired of living in Shakespeare’s shadow and decide to invent something entirely new: the musical.
The result is a fast-paced spectacle filled with big laughs, ambition, larger-than-life characters and rhyming humour.
The production both mocks and honours musical theatre in equal measure, packed with high-energy numbers.
