Description

Berkeley Playhouse presents its 2025 YouthStage Spotlight Musical!

Brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom are two struggling playwrights desperate to make a name for themselves in the shadow of Renaissance rockstar William Shakespeare. When a soothsayer predicts that the future of theatre involves singing, dancing, and acting—all at the same time, the Bottom brothers set out to write the world's very first musical. What follows is a hilarious mashup of mistaken prophecy, outrageous performances, and show-stopping musical numbers. Packed with a plethora of clever references to Broadway classics and Shakespearean tropes alike, Something Rotten is a laugh-out-loud musical comedy that will have you cheering for more!
