Something Rotten

Something Rotten is a musical comedy from the creators of Mrs. Doubtfire and Aladdin. This production at the Stratford Festival Theatre offers a chance to see the show staged by a company known for its classical interpretations, which could bring a unique perspective to the musical's historical setting and anachronistic humor. The story follows two playwright brothers in Renaissance England trying to compete with Shakespeare. This performance of Something Rotten is on Saturday, October 10, 2026, at the Stratford Festival Theatre in Stratford, ON. The venue is a grand proscenium theater, often associated with Shakespearean drama, making it an interesting setting for a show that pokes fun at the origins of musical theater. It should appeal to those who enjoy witty dialogue, theatrical satire, and a blend of historical context with modern sensibilities.
