Something Rotten! Scene

Nostradamus approaches Nick and offers his services as a fortune teller, saying he can help or see Nick if needed. Nick is startled and begins to walk away. Nostradamus claims he is already hired, though he is just being polite. When Nick asks who he is, Nostradamus proudly introduces himself as Nostradamus' nephew Thomas. Nick asks Nostradamus to look into the future and predict the next big thing in theater. Nostradamus exaggeratedly peers into the future and declares it will be "musicals," where the plot is conveyed through songs interrupting the dialogue, much to Nick's confusion and disbelief.

Nostradamus & Nick Scene

Nostradamus:

(Approaching Nick)

Did I hear a need for future seeing? If seeing is what you need, I can help you. If help is what
you need, I can see you. If neither is what you need, I foresee you leaving very soon.

(Startled, Nick begins to walk away.)

So am I hired? Actually, I already know I will be. Im just being polite.

Nick:

Who are you?

Nostradamus:

Nick:

Nostradamus:

The biggest, most fantastic thing in the theatre will be

(squinting as if trying to understand the new word being told to him from beyond)

(Nick looks disgustedly confused)

It appears to be a play where the dialogue stops and the plot is conveyed through song.

Nick:

(Baffled) Woah woah woah. So an actor is saying his lines, and then out of nowhere, he just
starts singing?

Nostradamus:

Yes!

Nick:

(Cue Line for A Musical) Well that is the

(Music begins)

STUPIDEST THING THAT I HAVE EVER HEARD

(A Musical has begun)
