Why Something Rotten! Is A Must See!

Welcome all to the time of your life!

Why Something Rotten! Is A Must See!
Playbill

So, this is probably one of my favorite shows of all time. No joke. And you should see it. Like right now.

1. The songs are very, very catchy

The amount of times I've listened to the soundtrack since seeing the show is unreal. I almost have every song memorized.

2. It's worth going multiple times

3. It has a great meaning

I’m not going to spoil the whole show. But lets just say there’s ‘the world’s first feminist,’ a rebellious child, how wanting to be famous can get to you, and so much more. Go buy tickets. Now.

4. It's literally the Renaissance

The costumes, the plot, the set. Even there’s two songs about it being the Renaissance. So, if you’re a lover of this time era, this show is for you.


5. Shakespeare

The role was originated by Christian Borle. He sheds a new light for 'The Bard.'

6. You will learn how to make an omelette

If you're confused on how to make one, then there's a song to help you out!

7. Dancing eggs

Where else would you find dancing eggs? Yeah. Exactly. No where else.

8. You'll laugh multiple times

Nope! Not giving spoilers. Just get your tickets and see for yourself!

9. Family Friendly

Kids? Grandparents? Aunts? Uncles? Cousins? Well, bring them to the St. James Theatre for some fun and shake it with Shakespeare!

10. It's a musical.... about the worlds first musical

Mind = Blown

11. You'll leave feeling happy

"Money well spent. It's gonna be great, gonna great!" No, really. It really is money well spent. I was literally bouncing in my seat because I was that happy to see the show. Yeah, don't learn from me, fam!

12. You have something to tell your friends about

Get them interested. Tell them about it. Tell your neighbors. Because the stage is set for you to have a great time with the cast and crew.

13. They make fun of other musicals

There's just so many. And it's the greatest thing ever.

14. The costumes are lit

I mean, how can you not love them?!

15. There's still two original cast members in

Gerry Vichi (Shylock; above) and Brad Oscar (Nostradamus) are still in. I've also met them and they are so sweet. Besides ensemble, they are the two with major roles to still be in the show. And I love them, okay?

16. "Hard to Be the Bard"

This is the second song in the second act. It shows how Shakespeare struggles with writing. They also made a music video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hnI7yhIWGY)for this song and I love it.


I highly recommend seeing this show. And you can be a loser like me with the soundtrack. I attempt to act out certain parts of songs. It's highly entertaining!

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

Brooke Davis

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

We all have a person, and when that person makes some new friends, we tend to forget all the great things that can come out of it. Never forget how special they are to you and why you are best friends.
