"Spotlight Youth Theatre's production of Something Rotten! is an entertaining evening of musical comedy, thanks to a talented young cast who dive headfirst into one of the funniest stage musicals of the past decade. The combination of the cast's infectious energy and good comedic timing delivers a solid production of this original musical that's full of clever jokes, witty references to Shakespeare and musical theatre, and plenty of crowd-pleasing musical numbers....The characters are distinct and well written and the Spotlight cast shine in bringing them to life. Nick Bottom is both flawed and endearing as he schemes to best Shakespeare and he's played with great comic frustration and determination by Calvin Corey....Van Rockwell's direction features sharply paced scenes that allow the humor to land while also keeping the heart of the story front and center. The musical numbers are staged fairly well, with just the right amount of movement in Bella Swope's choreography to create energy without being too overwhelming.
