About SOMETHING ROTTEN JR: Travel back to the Renaissance for an hour of musical comedy gold in Something Rotten! JR. Adapted from the Broadway hit that Time Out New York hailed as "the funniest musical comedy in at least 400 years," Something Rotten! JR. celebrates one undeniable truth: “nothing’s as amazing as a musical!”
In the 1590s, 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. But amidst the scandalous excitement of opening night, the Bottom Brothers realize that reaching the top means being true to thine own self, and all that jazz.
The Paramount Theatre is located at 24 Court Street South, Thunder Bay, Ontario. The Paramount Theatre is heritage property and the stage itself is located on the second floor of the building with sets of stairs for patron access to their seats.
Something Rotten! JR. Is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).
