Set in the ‘90s – the 1590s – this hilarious smash tells the story of Nick and Nigel Bottom (Tony® nominee Rob McClure and Broadway’s Josh Grisetti), two brothers who are desperate to write their own hit play while the "rock star" Shakespeare (Tony® nominee Adam Pas- cal) keeps getting all the hits. When a local 48 soothsayer foretells that the future of the- atre involves singing, dancing and acting at the same time, Nick and Nigel set out to write the world’s very first MUSICAL! With its heart on its ruffled sleeve and sequins in its soul, SOMETHING ROTTEN! is “The Pro- ducers + Spamalot + The Book of Mormon. Squared!” (New York Magazine). 17 Tyler Ward Cheaha Brewing Company at 7pm 17 Third Thursday in the Gardens: The food of gods 12- 1pm Longleaf Botanical Gardens - Join us to learn about the ancient Mayans’ and Az- tecs’ love of chocolate and how it became a worldwide culinary sensation.
