Casting Singers for "Something Rotten" Show

A struggling writer who cannot stand, but is secretly quite jealous of, Shakespeare. He risks everything just to prove he’s the best. Nigel’s older brother Baritone/Tenor

Nick’s sweet and naive younger brother, amazing but unconfident poet and writer. Falls in love with Portia, a Puritan Tenor

The Bard. Over the top with a huge ego. A Renaissance rock star and sex symbol. Can’t stand that someone (Nick) is trying to take his spot as the best there is Baritone/Tenor

Nick’s wife. She loves Nick despite his past lack of success. Dresses up like a man to prove not only that she can act, she is more than capable of handling the duties of a man Soprano

A Puritan woman who loves poetry, theater, and ultimately Nigel. Torn between her father (Brother Jeremiah) and religion, and the joy and freedom offered by art and Nigel Soprano

A soothsayer, the nephew of the more famous Nostradamus - often mostly probably kind of correct, sort of. Big personality to back up his big predictions Baritone

Portia's father. A Puritan who thinks Nick and Nigel's plays are sinful. Any plays are sinful. Music is sinful. Everyone else is sinful…except himself Baritone

A posh patron of the theater. Pompous but terrified of falling out of line

An avid theater enthusiast and investor to whom Nick and Nigel are in debt. Tevye, if he were a rich man

Our narrator and storyteller. Plays the Lute. Joyfull, energetic, and attention grabbing (only second to Shakespeare in this regard) Tenor
