July 18 & 19, 2025: Something Rotten! Ritz Theatre, Sheffield
“Something Rotten!” is a hilarious, high-energy musical comedy set in 1595,
following the Bottom brothers, Nick and Nigel, as they struggle to make a name for
themselves in the shadow of William Shakespeare—who’s treated like a rock star.
Desperate to outshine the Bard, they consult a soothsayer who predicts that the
future of theatre involves singing, dancing, and acting all at once: the musical.
Determined to write the world’s first, the brothers dive into outrageous situations, wild
misunderstandings, and over-the-top numbers. Packed with clever humor,
Renaissance-era absurdity, and endless Broadway references, it’s a joyful, irreverent
celebration of theatre itself. Tickets & info: tennesseevalleyarts.org or
