Something’s Rotten Production at Little Theatre of Alexandria. Here the fine cast is supported by an equally top-notch 12-piece orchestra and crew who handle over 200 light and sound cues. Notwithstanding Shylock’s cautionary advice, critics agreed when this hilarious musical opened on Broadway nominating it no less than 34 times to garner two Tony Award wins. Pilfering from his wife’s savings, Nick pays Nostradamus ( Chuck Dluhy) to divine a fresh idea for a play. The seer predicts it will be musicals. “Song and dance and sweet romance. No talking. All of the dialogue is sung,” he assures.Ĭonvinced the idea will trump anything the Sultan of Sonnet could pen, Nick imagines a troupe of sexy Rockettes in giant ostrich feathers and gentlemen in codpieces. And, oh what swollen codpieces they sport! The show’s patron Shylock ( Peter Fannon) has his doubts that “Ham Omelette: The Musical” will sell to the masses. Noah Mutterperi plays The Bard in leather chaps as a mashup of Elvis and Adam Lambert. Nigel is a playwright and poet falling for poetry-loving Portia ( Katie Conn) whose father Brother Jeremiah ( Paul Caffrey) is a bible-toting Puritan. Heaven forfend! Nick and his feminist wife Bea ( Anna Phillips-Brown) support Nigel’s aspirations. Set in 1595 in London down-on-their-luck brothers Nick ( Matt Liptak) and Nigel ( Jack Dalrymple) Bottom are eager to one-up Shakespeare with a showstopper of their own creation.
