Wartburg Theatre | Tickets required This wildly entertaining musical features intricate characters and dancing galore. Always overshadowed by William Shakespeare, Nick Bottom pays a soothsayer to predict the next famous play so the theatre troupe he and his brother run can produce it before the Bard does. “Something Rotten!” navigates the meaning of love and the feeling of inferiority, all with a sarcastic edge.
