GNAG Community Theatre is thrilled to present Something Rotten!
Theatre is always a risky business. Shakespeare is a rockstar. Literally. And his rivals? Two struggling playwrights who are desperate for a hit until a slightly offbeat soothsayer predicts the future of theatre: Tragedy with singing! Comedy with dancing! Wait… what? A musical? A show set in the 1590s with the energy, comedy, and music of the 21st century!
Something Rotten! is a laugh-out-loud mashup of Elizabethan costume drama, Broadway razzle-dazzle, and Monty Python-style madness — with a joyful shuffle-step through Annie, Jesus Christ Superstar, and all your favourite musicals.
Stratford is also putting on Something Rotten! this year after only having produced it in 2024. Stratford almost never repeats a play this quickly but clearly it’s because it’s an amazingly funny and clever show. But you could see it here first!
- Child (under 12 years): $28+ ticketing fees
- Adult: $38+ ticketing fees
- Student (12+) / Senior (65 +): $33+ ticketing fees
This musical is PG-13 — There are lots of jokes that are double entendre that will be picked up by grown-ups, but not by children. It’s bawdy but not rated R, just the jokes are on a more adult level, so it won’t be nearly as funny for kids.
