The Renaissance is back! Something Rotten! opens officially at the Great White Way's St. James Theatre on April 22. The new musical comedy is directed by Casey Nicholaw. To help celebrate the tuner’s opening night, Broadway.com resident artist Justin “Squigs” Robertson created this portrait of the cast.
The whole merry crew is present! John Cariani, Brian d’Arcy James and Christian Borle are front and center as Bottom brothers Nigel and Nick and the Bard himself, respectively, as well as Kate Reinders as Portia, Heidi Blickenstaff as Bea, Brooks Ashmanskas as Brother Jeremiah, Michael James Scott as Minstrel, Gerry Vichi as Shylock and Brad Oscar as Nostradamus.
Congratulations to the cast of Something Rotten!. To thine own self be true and make omelettes.
About the Artist: With a desire to celebrate the magic of live theater and those who create it, and with a deep reverence for such touchstones as the work of Al Hirschfeld and the wall at Sardi’s, Squigs is happy and grateful to be among those carrying on the traditions where theater and caricature meet. He was born and raised in Oregon, lived in Los Angeles for quite a long time and now calls New York City his home.
