by Joshua Hurd, GHS Musical Director

Gorham High School will be presenting the musical “Something Rotten!” on Fridays and Saturdays; Jan. 30 and 31, and Feb. 6 and 7 at 7:00 p.m., and Sundays; Feb. 1 and 8 at 2:00 p.m.

“Something Rotten!” is a hilarious musical comedy about two brothers, Nick and Nigel Bottom, struggling playwrights in Elizabethan London, who, overshadowed by the rockstar William Shakespeare, consult a soothsayer who predicts the next big thing will be “A Musical!” The show follows their madcap attempt to write the world’s first musical, a meta-love letter to Broadway packed with Shakespearean jokes, catchy tunes, and over-the-top characters, celebrating the absurdity of theater while satirizing both Shakespeare and musicals themselves.

The production team at GHS consists of director Josh Hurd, musical director Matthew Murray, choreographer Mariel Roy and producer Jocelyn Miller. Don’t miss this incredible production!
