"Set in the lively world of theatre during the English Renaissance of the 1590s, where the name William Shakespeare reigned supreme, Something Rotten! is a very funny and completely original musical with an intriguing story and charming characters. With a cast of talented teenagers and crisp comical direction that derives big laughs, Greasepaint Youth Theatre is presenting a hilarious production of this heartfelt musical comedy...In what seems like a recent endless stream of jukebox musicals and film-to-stage adaptations, the originality of Something Rotten! is a breath of fresh air....The Greasepaint cast is excellent. Declan Skaggs brings an appropriate sense of desperation and determination as the practical Nick Bottom, while James McGuire exudes charm and vulnerability as Nick's anxious, poetry-loving brother Nigel...Sebastian Girodroux is a hoot as the eccentric Nostradamus. ...Bella Cucchetti is warm, strong, and full of life as Nick's determined wife Bea, and Sophie Swingler is spirited and charming as Portia, the puritan young woman Nigel falls for....Bob Sorenson's skillful direction seamlessly blends humor and heart, with firm and bright performances from each of the cast members who exhibit sharp comic timing that always ensures the jokes land.
