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 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." Chagrin Valley Little Theatre is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit funded through individual and corporate contributions. Our programming is made possible in part by the citizens of Cuyahoga Country through Cuyahoga County Arts and Culture and by state tax dollars allocated by the Ohio Legislature to the Ohio Arts Council (OAC).

Laura Kennelly Review: Sense and Sensibility at Great Lakes
by Laura Kennelly 21 Feb '23

21 Feb '23

Great Lakes Theater offers a delightfully funny, sassy Tik-Tok update of Jane Austen’s *Sense and Sensibility*. Directors Sara Bruner and Jaclyn Miller take playwright Kate Hamill’s 2014 adaptation of Austen’s first published novel and relish its satiric bones. This Great Lakes production makes Austen’s late 18th-century tale completely relatable to today’s audience, one used to quick takes and comic fakes.
