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!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
