“The Mac-Haydn Theatre cooks up a perfect theatrical experience with Something Rotten!” says Bill Kellert Nippertown

“John Saunders’ direction plays his performers like a fine tuned instrument.”

“Emma Cummings has designed a set that replicates a Renaissance stage which choreographer Mandy Modic makes the most of, with performers leaping up and down, several full company tap sequences that Busby Berkeley would be envious of.”

“Bethany Marx has assembled one of the finest costume designs seen at The Mac all season.”

“I would gladly see it again. Especially this edition. It is just plain wonderful.” says Peter Bergman for Berkshire Edge

“Nick’s wife Beatrice is played with style, grace, and hilarious intent by Madison Stratton, who makes the most of her two songs and her wonderful comic scenes as she proves herself worthy of her marriage”

“This is a show I intend to see again before it completes its three-week run.”

“Milords and ladies: get thyself over to Chatham. N.Y. for an undeniably riotous, rollicking evening of song, dance, and hilarity” says Jeannie Woods for Berkshire on Stage

“This entertaining Elizabethan pastiche could easily sink under its own weight, the jokes and parodies come so fast and furious. But Director Saunders has done a fabulous job of casting and staging a big, big show in the intimate theatre space.”

“Andrew Burton Kelly is amiable and passionate as the older brother, Nick Bottom. He’s an extremely fine singer and terrific actor who is indefatigably entertaining.”

“Stratton is a spectacular performer—her powerful and beautiful voice and charismatic rendition of the wife who disguises herself as a man to keep the household afloat is truly memorable.”

“SOMETHING ROTTEN is dazzlingly entertaining. No need to wait for the big song and dance showstopper at the end—this show is chock full of huge dance numbers from the get-go.”

“A tremendous shout out goes to costume designer Bethany Marx. SOMETHING ROTTEN must have over 100 costumes and the valiant 22-member cast donned one after another with remarkable aplomb.”
