      There's "Something Rotten!" in Chagrin Falls this Spring


        The hilarious musical mash-up of Shakespeare and Broadway takes
        the stage at CVLT March 17 - April 15

CHAGRIN FALLS, OH - Chagrin Valley Little Theatre welcomes you to the 
Renaissance with “Something Rotten!” This hit musical comedy features 
music and lyrics by Grammy Award-winner and Tony Award-nominee Wayne 
Kirkpatrick and Golden Globe Award and Tony Award-nominee Karey 
Kirkpatrick, and book by Tony Award nominees Karey Kirkpatrick and 
best-selling author John O’Farrell. Performances will be Fridays and 
Saturdays at 7:30 PM from 3/17 - 4/15, with Sunday matinees at 2 PM on 
3/26 and 4/2. Tickets are $21 at CVLT.org or 440-247-8955. $4 discount 
for students, seniors, and active military.

In 16th century England, brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom are desperate to 
write a hit play. But they are stuck in the shadow of that Renaissance 
rock star William Shakespeare. A chance meeting with a soothsayer gives 
them a glimpse of future of theatre - singing and dancing! The brothers 
set about writing the first hit musical. But amidst the scandalous 
excitement of opening night, Nick and Nigel realize that reaching the 
top means being true to thine own self and all that jazz.

With its heart on its ruffled sleeve and sequins in its soul, “Something 
Rotten!” is an uproarious dose of pure Broadway fun and an irresistible 
ode to musicals. Its wacky take on everything from Renaissance fashion 
to the bubonic plague earned the Broadway production ten Tony Award 
nominations.

CVLT's production is directed and choreographed by Marc C. Howard with 
musical direction by David W. Coxe. The cast features George Bailey and 
Ev Brodsky as 'Nick and Nigel Bottom,' with Joshua Budd as 
'Shakespeare.' The cast also features Tom Jones (Nostradamus), Abby 
Longshore (Bea), Dennis Runkle (Brother Jeremiah), Emily Sedmak 
(Portia), Kegan Sulamoyo (Minstrel), Breann Zerby (Lady Clapham), Neil 
Rubin (Shylock), Nick Grimsic (Tom Snout), Louis Schwartz (Robin), 
Tobias Morrison (Peter Quince), Christopher Wuehler (Snug), with Jack 
Jennemann and Jordon Matthew as 'Bard Boys'. The cast also includes 
Alessia Carrossellia, Christina Katsaras, Julian Kruyne, Bekah 
Neubecker, Sofia Palma, Emily Penton, Genevieve Vince.

CVLT is located at 40 River Street in historic Chagrin Falls Village. 
"Something Rotten!" is part of the theatre's 93rd Season, which 
continues into the summer with "The Play That Goes Wrong" and "Kinky Boots."
