Travel back to the Renaissance for an hour of musical comedy gold in Something Rotten! JR. Adapted from the Broadway hit that Time Out New York hailed as "the funniest musical comedy in at least 400 years," Something Rotten! JR. celebrates one undeniable truth: “nothing’s as amazing as a musical!”
In the 1590s, brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom are desperate to write a hit play but are stuck in the shadow of that Renaissance rock star known as "The Bard." When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of theatre involves singing, dancing and acting at the same time, Nick and Nigel set out to write the world’s very first musical. But amidst the scandalous excitement of opening night, the Bottom Brothers realize that reaching the top means being true to thine own self, and all that jazz.
Students should prepare a 1 minute cut of a musical theatre song. We prefer if you can submit a YouTube link to us with the instrumental version of your song that you will sing to. Then the entire group will learn a dance combination. Please bring jazz dance shoes if you have them (tennis shoes if not, no barefoot dancing or dancing in open toed shoes allowed.)
