Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and then there's Nick and Nigel Bottom.

This history-twisting mash-up of sixteenth-century Shakespeare and twenty-first-century Broadway is a love letter to musical theater complete with outrageous characters, dazzling showstoppers, and all the winks and flourishes that make us feel that "with a musical we might have half a chance."
