Summary
Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and then there’s Nick and Nigel Bottom. Two brothers stuck in the shadow of a certain Renaissance rock star — yes, the William Shakespeare — set forth to knock him off his perch by writing the world’s very first musical. A misinformed soothsayer plants the seeds for this brilliant idea as the task of how to upstage a literary genius without really trying hilariously unfolds. This history-twisting mash-up set in the 16th-Century with 21st-Century Broadway dazzle is sure to entertain with outrageous characters, musical showstoppers, and all the winks and flourishes that make us feel that “with a musical we might have half a chance.” Come laugh with us!
