Something Rotten! Reviews

Stage and Cinema - Highly Recommended

"...I was not looking forward to Something Rotten. I'm not big into Shakespeare (gasp, sorry), and my taste in musicals is more Sondheim than shtick. A cousin who is half my age and au courant with new musicals (this being one of her favorites) insisted I would love it, so dubiously I went with her last night to the always intimate and stellar Lyric Stage Company of Boston. By the first few bars I had changed my tune, and a fraction of the way through the perfectly constructed and executed opening number "Welcome to the Renaissance," I was dancing in my seat, enthralled and all in."
