SOMETHING ROTTEN! National Tour Thread — Page 2

THANK YOU LesWickedly! I saw it last Friday in Boston and Autumn seemed sooo familiar to me but I couldn't place her! (I kept thinking of it only when I wasn't near a computer to be able to google.)

I found the show funny and entertaining. Not a show I'd need to see a second time, but a good evening. I've wanted to see Rob McClure in anything live since I saw Chaplin clips online, and he didn't disappoint. He was outstanding.

I saw this tour in Pittsburgh over the weekend. I do Saturday matinees, so usually see at least one understudy, but all the principals were on and they were wonderful. It's inspired silliness, so if you like that sort of thing, you'll like this.

So far I've enjoyed all the PNC Broadway Across America shows (Finding Neverland, A Christmas Story, Curious Incident, Something Rotten). Still to come: The King and I, Fun Home and An American in Paris. When you can't get to NYC (and I didn't last year), these tours are the next best thing!

I haven't seen the tour, or the Broadway production, but I'm really enjoying Rob McClure's Broadway.com vlog. Here's a link for anyone who wants to check it out.

Rob McClure is utterly fantastic. So much talent, charm, and presence. Absolutely one of my favorite performers out there.

Adam Pascal I did not care for. Loved him in Rent, but here, he looked kind of miserable the whole time. Which is a fair way to play it-- like he can't be bothered with anything, but I was begging for Christian Borle the whole time.

Pierce Cassedy made his Nigel debut recently:

I'm going to pick up tickets for the San Francisco run of the tour. Any idea if Adam does the stage door thing on tour? I was a huge fan of Rent (and even Aida) back in the day.

I was curious about something, having just seen the show Saturday night in San Francisco. There's a line in which Nostradamus - played by Blake Hammond - is vaguely predicting the future of musicals and talking solving a problem like Maria and about Nazis. He is asked if Nazis are good or bad. He replies that he's not sure, then stops and adds pointedly: "But I think it's really important to get that right."

The line brought down the house. For anyone else who has seen the touring production or the Broadway show, I was curious if that line has always been there. It felt like it was something added, but I have never seen the musical before.

Does anyone know?

Yup, always been there! :)

Anybody know if Adam and Rob will still be in it when it comes to Philly? It would make sense for Rob since he lives here

Will more dates be announced? Unfortunately I live really close to NYC, but didn't go to see in on Broadway since I had absolutely no interest in theater then. The only weekends that it is even sort of close to here/family members I can stay with I can't go and see it. I have no clue how tours work though
