About the Show
Northglenn Youth Theatre is an acting program comprised of middle and high school students.
A musical comedy set in the 1590s, following the Bottom brothers, Nick and Nigel, struggling playwrights overshadowed by the famous Shakespeare. In a desperate attempt to outshine the Bard, they seek the advice of a soothsayer, who suggests they create the world’s first musical. As they navigate the eccentricities of the theatrical world, hilarity ensues with clever wordplay, catchy tunes, and plenty of references to classic musicals and Shakespearean works. The musical explores themes of ambition, creativity, and the timeless pursuit of artistic success.
Age Recommendations: 8+
Recommended for adults and kids 8 and up, however, please use judgment based on your own research of the show, your own sensibilities, and a child’s age and maturity level.
Advisories: The production features frequent crude humor, mild sexual innuendo, and some strong language. Parental discretion is advised.
