Happy Hour @ Motel Soco

Something Rotten! was hailed by Time Out New York as “the funniest musical comedy in at least 400 years”. See the live play at the Pagosa Springs Center for the Arts, May 30 through August 30.

Not content to let William Shakespeare get all the attention, the conniving but clueless Bottom brothers hatch a plan to cook up the next big stage hit. After an ill-advised trip to see Nostradamus’s food-obsessed nephew, they risk everything to produce what they believe will be the show of the future: the musical! Combining everything you love about Broadway—big dance numbers, bold costumes, and eye-rolling off-stage antics! 7pm. $48.

This deliriously funny Broadway hit hurls us back to the 1590s, where the Bottom brothers (Nick and Nigel) are struggling playwrights stuck in the shadow of a guy named Shakespeare. Correct, that Shakespeare, whose ego is matched only by his rhyming couplets. Desperate for a hit, the Bottoms consult a soothsayer named Nostradamus (nephew of that Nostradamus) who peers into the future and sees… musical theatre. Song! Dance! Omelettes!

Yes, omelettes!

What follows is a madcap scramble through showbiz tropes, Shakespearean jabs, and musical theater in-jokes, performed with such gusto and glee that even the Bard himself might drop his quill and start tap-dancing. Imagine ‘Rent’ by way of ‘The Merry Wives of Windsor’… with a chorus line.

Directed by Dennis Elkins and choreographed by Pia Wyatt, this production features a crackerjack cast of national talent, plus local talents Hannah Rockensock and Leela Simpson.

No need to brush up on your Broadway knowledge or dust off your Complete Works. ‘Something Rotten!’ is the kind of show that rewards the theatre nerd and welcomes the theatre newbie. The original Broadway production earned 10 Tony nominations and snagged a few statues along the way. But awards aside, this is a show that lives to entertain. It sings. It struts. It scrambles.

And it might just be the funniest thing you see all summer.

Andrew Lippa’s Wild Party is based on Joseph Moncure March’s 1928 narrative poem of the same name, this darkly brilliant show features one of the most exciting, pulse-racing scores ever written.

It’s the roaring 1920s and the beautiful, young Queenie, although she tries, cannot find a lover able to satisfy her desires – until she meets Burrs, a vaudevillian clown with a voracious appetite for women.

Lovers Queenie and Burrs decide to throw the party-to-end-all-parties in their Manhattan apartment. After the colorful arrival of a slew of guests living life on the edge, Queenie’s wandering eyes land on a striking man. As the decadence is reaching a climax, so is Burrs’ jealousy.

This show contains graphic and adult content as well as crazy good music. See the live play at the Pagosa Springs Center for the Arts.
