Why Something Rotten! Is A Must See!

Welcome all to the time of your life!

Why Something Rotten! Is A Must See!
Playbill

So, this is probably one of my favorite shows of all time. No joke. And you should see it. Like right now.

1. The songs are very, very catchy

The amount of times I've listened to the soundtrack since seeing the show is unreal. I almost have every song memorized.

2. It's worth going multiple times

3. It has a great meaning

I’m not going to spoil the whole show. But lets just say there’s ‘the world’s first feminist,’ a rebellious child, how wanting to be famous can get to you, and so much more. Go buy tickets. Now.

4. It's literally the Renaissance

The costumes, the plot, the set. Even there’s two songs about it being the Renaissance. So, if you’re a lover of this time era, this show is for you.


5. Shakespeare

The role was originated by Christian Borle. He sheds a new light for 'The Bard.'

6. You will learn how to make an omelette

If you're confused on how to make one, then there's a song to help you out!

7. Dancing eggs

Where else would you find dancing eggs? Yeah. Exactly. No where else.

8. You'll laugh multiple times

Nope! Not giving spoilers. Just get your tickets and see for yourself!

9. Family Friendly

Kids? Grandparents? Aunts? Uncles? Cousins? Well, bring them to the St. James Theatre for some fun and shake it with Shakespeare!

10. It's a musical.... about the worlds first musical

Mind = Blown

11. You'll leave feeling happy

"Money well spent. It's gonna be great, gonna great!" No, really. It really is money well spent. I was literally bouncing in my seat because I was that happy to see the show. Yeah, don't learn from me, fam!

12. You have something to tell your friends about

Get them interested. Tell them about it. Tell your neighbors. Because the stage is set for you to have a great time with the cast and crew.

13. They make fun of other musicals

There's just so many. And it's the greatest thing ever.

14. The costumes are lit

I mean, how can you not love them?!

15. There's still two original cast members in

Gerry Vichi (Shylock; above) and Brad Oscar (Nostradamus) are still in. I've also met them and they are so sweet. Besides ensemble, they are the two with major roles to still be in the show. And I love them, okay?

16. "Hard to Be the Bard"

This is the second song in the second act. It shows how Shakespeare struggles with writing. They also made a music video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hnI7yhIWGY) for this song and I love it.


I highly recommend seeing this show. And you can be a loser like me with the soundtrack. I attempt to act out certain parts of songs. It's highly entertaining!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
