⭐ SOMETHING ROTTEN! UK PREMIERE POSTPONED ⭐
The UK premiere of Something Rotten! has been postponed, it has been announced.
The Broadway smash-hit production was originally set to open at the Birmingham Repertory Theatre in October 2020, directed by newly appointed Artistic Director Sean Foley, but due to the ongoing closure of theatres across the UK, the show was unable to go ahead as planned.
It was then rescheduled for October 2021 but unfortunately that has also been postponed.
In an email to customers, Birmingham Repertory Theatre comment:
“It is with a heavy heart that we announce the postponement of our Autumn production, Something Rotten! The continued challenges of COVID-19, with extremely large casts and international travel, has forced further delays.
We are working hard to confirm new performance dates and times for this show and we will be in touch with ticket options soon…”
Set in 1595, Something Rotten! follows the story of the Bottom brothers, Nick and Nigel, who struggle to find success in the theatrical world, as they compete with the wild popularity of their contemporary William Shakespeare.
Something Rotten! is an original musical comedy with a book by John O’Farrell & Karey Kirkpatrick, with music and lyrics by Karey & Wayne Kirkpatrick.
I really hope this happens! ! !
