"... With a superb cast, rich creative elements, and spotless direction, (Kathy) Fitzgerald and her gifted ensemble of actors are presenting an excellent production of this wild and wacky musical comedy....Something Rotten! is an original musical comedy that is hilarious, with a tuneful score featuring several showstopping songs, but it's also a story that touches on some serious topics, including the need to be true to yourself. It also has identifiable characters and a story with a lot of sweet and heartfelt emotions. This production, with most of this cast, was supposed to have opened in March 2020 but was shut down shortly before their opening night due to COVID. Fortunately, Phoenix Theatre didn't cancel the show but just delayed it for two years and it's a good thing they did as it was well worth the wait." -Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway (click here to read the complete review)
"In the hilarious musical “Something Rotten!,” comic energy explodes all over The Phoenix Theatre Company stage bringing a richly entertaining and thoroughly amusing show to vibrant and throbbing life. The show, set during Shakespeare’s time, slams musical theater foibles and the inane plots of too many musicals. The show succeeds for two main reasons. One reason is a superb cast of limber farceurs who sing and dance with aplomb while making anything remotely funny in the mockish show truly hilarious. The other reason is director/musical stager Kathy Fitzgerald who masterminds the show’s spirited high jinks while instilling the entire production with a deft comedic sense...." -Chris Curcio, Curtain Up Phoenix (click here to read the complete review)
