It's The '90s! The 1590s, that is. Shakespeare is in his prime and is beloved by everyone in London. Everyone, that is, except Nick Bottom, a playwright who just doesn't understand Shakespeare's appeal and wishes he had his fame. Desperate to write a good play, he goes to see a soothsayer named Nostradamus (no, not that Nostradamus, his nephew Thomas) to find out what the future of theatre holds. Nostradamus tells him that in the future, theatre will involve singing and dancing. So, Nick and his brother/writing partner Nigel set out to write the world's first musical.The show premiered on Broadway in 2015, featuring Brian D'arcy James as Nick, John Cariani as Nigel, Christian Borle as Shakespeare, and Brad Oscar as Nostradamus. Heidi Blickenstaff plays Nick's wife, Bea, and Kate Reinders plays Nigel's love interest, Portia. | |

| Something Rotten! (Theatre) / int_1f83dc62 | comment |
Named Like My Name: Thomas Nostradamus is not the Nostradamus, although he is his nephew. Nick Bottom, his troupe members (minus Nigel), Portia, Bea(trice) and Shylock all share names with characters from Shakespeare's works. Shylock even mentions Shakespeare having promised to use him as a character, though the portrayal was far from flattering. Shakespeare's own mole name, "Toby Belch" is shared by a drunken, boorish man from Twelfth Night. Shakespeare also promises to name a character after the judge, Falstaff. | |

Musical Number Annoyance: Lampshaded, Parodied, Discussed and Conversed when Nick visits soothsayer Thomas Nostradamus to find out what will make his failing theatrical productions a smash hit. Nostradamus peers into the future and discovers musical theater, which kicks off a song-and-dance number during which an incredulous Nick describes exactly why he thinks actors breaking into song-and-dance numbers during a show is the stupidest thing he's ever heard of: | |

Bittersweet Ending: On the one hand, The Bottoms, Shylock and Thomas Nostradamus are banished to America due to the failure of Nick's scheme... and, as a result, Shakespeare gets away with counter-plagiarizing from Nigel's script. On the other hand, it's a new start of sorts, and it's implied that this is exactly what lays the groundwork for the eventual success of the musical as a medium. | |

GreyAndGreyMorality | |
| Something Rotten! (Theatre) / int_445bc425 | comment |
Grey-and-Grey Morality: Nick Bottom really wants to be better than Shakespeare. His solution is to use a soothsayer to plagiarize Shakespeare's greatest work; the only thing that redeems him is that he accidentally writes an original music about omelettes and that he chose to do this because his back was up against the wall and he needed to support his poor and growing family. Shakespeare in the meantime also has no issue plagiarizing, but is rightly offended that Nick isn't planning to put the work in and decides the answer is to steal the play they're working on and turn it into his greatest work. | |

| Something Rotten! (Theatre) / int_4604fd4d | comment |
Worthy Opponent: Nick dreams of Shakespeare bowing down to him and admitting he's better, which he then not so graciously responds to with mockery. In actuality though, the bard has just as little respect for Nick as he does for him and this never changes. However, Shakespeare does come to see Nigel as an equal, though for the sake of his plans he can't bring himself to admit how brilliant his writing is, only showing him some proper respect once he's gotten his potential rival out of the picture. | |

"I Hate" Song | |
| Something Rotten! (Theatre) / int_7670f0a3 | comment |
"I Hate" Song: Nick's song "God, I Hate Shakespeare" is devoted to how much he hates his fellow playwright Shakespeare. It starts off with Nick ranting about all the ways he finds Shakespeare and his plays boring and pretentious, eventually devolving into Nick screaming that he loathes every single single thing about Shakespeare. However, a later reprise of the song has Nick admit that he's jealous of Shakespeare's success, with Nick even saying that he'd do anything to gain even a bit of Shakespeare's noteriety. | |

Politically Correct History: Averted. Shylock, although he is, unlike his namesake in The Merchant of Venice, a "really, really nice Jew," is hated by everyone, and is forced into the rather unsavory profession of moneylending because it's the only job Jews are allowed to have. Truth in Television, as Anti-Semitism was prevalent during this period. | |

Right for the Wrong Reasons | |
| Something Rotten! (Theatre) / int_83cef301 | comment |
Right for the Wrong Reasons: Shakespeare actually had a strong justification to steal Nick's new show, as it's just a (horribly warped) plagiarization of Shakespeare's as of year unwritten greatest hit. And even when Nigel actually writes the real thing through real artistic merit, Shakespeare taking his work is still just stealing what was originally supposed to be his. However, while this theft can be justified, you can only forgive it so much since Shakespeare's attempts at plagiarizing extend beyond it, while Nick's is just a one time instance that just so happens to allow a thief to be in the right this time. | |

Villain Protagonist: Nick Bottom does want to plagiarize one of the world's greatest playwrights rather than put in the work to write something original. He does so with good intentions and only when he believe he has no other choice, but the show makes it quite clear that he's still in the wrong. | |

Bathos: The second act does this by juxtaposing Nick's vision (a goofy play about breakfast) with Nigel's vision (the "audience-repelling death play" that lays the groundwork for Hamlet proper). "Something Rotten," for instance, starts with the Yorick — sorry, Yolk — scene and an ominous song about the state of the kingdom, then switches over to an upbeat number about finding silver linings only for Eggbert to be horrified at the sight of his dead father... who continues cheerfully singing. | |

Everyone Has Standards | |
| Something Rotten! (Theatre) / int_b4a6ae4c | comment |
Everyone Has Standards: Shakespeare gets offended when Nick Bottom plans to plagiarize his future work using a soothsayer. He justifies stealing Nigel's work in that technically Shakespeare wrote it first according to the soothsayer, so he's only stealing from himself. Which, in a Circular Logic sense, is technically true. Shakespeare is all too happy to remove the Bottom brothers from his local competition, but he objects to them getting executed, instead merely relocating them, allowing his competitors to live and continue writing, just far away from him and his audiences. | |

Shakespeare in Fiction: Portrayed as something of a rock star. The show also plays with the authorship question a bit — he very much exists, and he's written original work, but during the story he goes through a period of writer's block that drives him to attempt plagiarism. And eventually succeed in doing so. | |
