A tribute to musical theater set in 1590s England, the story follows Nick and Nigel Bottom, a pair of brothers who are desperate to write a play, but are stuck in the shadow of William Shakespeare. When they're told by a local soothsayer that the future of theater involves singing, dancing, and acting at the same time, they set out to write the world's first musical.

The Broadway production is now running at the St. James Theatre. Beginning June 2, the cast will stars Christian Borle as Shakespeare, Josh Grisetti as Nigel Bottom, Rob McClure as Nick Bottom, Brad Oscar as Nostradamus, Leslie Kritzer as Bea, and Catherine Brunell as Portia.
