<h4 style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color:#000; font-size:11pt;">The hilarious musical mash-up
of Shakespeare and Broadway takes the stage at CVLT March

<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size:10pt">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

<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size:10pt">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.</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size:10pt">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.</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size:10pt">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
