NYC BROADWAY TRIP: SOMETHING ROTTEN! THURSDAY, MAY 12TH
Welcome to the ‘90s – the 1950s. Brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom are desperate to write a hit play but are stuck in the shadow of that Renaissance rock star known as “The Bard”. When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of theatre 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 an irresistible ode to musicals – those dazzling creations that entertain us, inspire us and remind us that everything’s better when you “embrace the exclamation point” (Deadline)! Enjoy a trip into New York City on Thursday afternoon to see Broadway’s Hilarious New Smash that will leave you screaming for more! This outing includes your show tickets, roundtrip movies, refreshments, box dinner and motor transportation to NYC and back to the hotel. The cost of the trip is $150.
