THROUGH FEB. 22
\u201cSomething Rotten!\u201d
Nick and Nigel Bottom, two struggling playwright brothers, are desperate to make a name for themselves in Renaissance England. Their outrageous solution\u2014inventing the musical\u2014sets off a wildly funny chain of events. Packed with clever wordplay, catchy songs, and over-the-top humor, the production puts a modern spin on Shakespearean satire and theatrical tradition.\u00a0Curtis Theatre, 1 Civic Center Circle, Brea, 714-990-7722, ci.brea.ca.us<\/a><\/p>\n

FEB. 17 THROUGH 22
\u201cMonty Python\u2019s Spamalot\u201d
Flying cows, British royalty, killer rabbits, and bumbling knights set the stage for a wildly entertaining night at the theater. The Broadway musical became a smash hit in the early 2000s thanks to its roaringly funny humor and instantly recognizable songs. Based on the cult-classic film\u00a0Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the production follows King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table on their delightfully absurd quest.\u00a0Segerstrom Hall, 600 Town Center Drive, Costa Mesa, 714-556-2787, scfta.org<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Danny Elfman\u2019s Music from the Films of Tim Burton, Michael Feinstein\u2019s Valentine with the Carnegie Hall Big Band,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":173651,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[163,165,164],"class_list":["post-173650","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-anaheim","tag-anaheim","tag-anaheim-headlines","tag-anaheim-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173650","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=173650"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173650\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/173651"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=173650"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=173650"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=173650"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
