The Bottom brothers, two struggling playwrights in Renaissance London, need a hit. That's easier said than done when your chief competition is local rockstar William Shakespeare. The Bottom brothers' plan: write the world's first musical! This rollicking song-and-dance extravaganza, which was nominated for ten Tony Awards during its smash Broadway run, sends up the Bard and Broadway and everything in between. Best of all, it can be enjoyed without CliffsNotes!
