Over the weekend I went to see a local community theater production of "Something Rotten!" and it was a lot of fun! The show is really silly and very referential to musicals. The idea is that playwrights from Shakespeare's day come up with the idea of writing a musical to try and one-up Shakespeare. There's just a lot of easter eggs for other musicals and a lot of poking fun at musicals themselves.
It was a silly goofy time, but I do wish that the female characters had more to do. They were all pretty secondary characters that didn't do much. And as a whole it was a production that didn't say a ton, just was a good time. Which I can definitely appreciate! Just don't expect a statement going in. Just a fun way to spend a evening.
