Something Rotten! in concert nominated for WhatsOnStage Awards Best Concert Event alongside Pippin – 50th Anniversary Concert
LMTO thrilled to be involved in the nomination list for a WhatsOnStage Award
The 25th annual WhatsOnStage Award nominations have been announced an LMTO is involved again in the list of Best Concert Event. This time with TWO nominations!
The performances of Something Rotten! in concert came about through a collaboration of Fourth Wall Live, JAS Theatricals, and the London Musical Theatre Orchestra in association with Alchemation.
Performed on 5th and 6th August 2024, the performances were not only well received for the stage presence of the performers but for the excellence of the London Musical Theatre Orchestra. The nominations are voted for by the public on the WhatsOnStage website with one vote per person registering.
Fourth Wall Live and the London Musical Theatre Orchestra produced the WhatsOnStage Award-winning concert of Love Never Dies in 2023 at Theatre Royal Drury Lane.
Something Rotten! was created by Hollywood screenwriters Karey Kirkpatrick (Chicken Run, James and the Giant Peach), John O’Farrell (Best-selling novels include The Best a Man Can Get, May Contain Nuts, The Man Who Forgot His Wife) and Grammy Award-winning songwriter Wayne Kirkpatrick (Change the World by Eric Clapton), who together went on to adapt Mrs Doubtfire into the West End and Broadway Musical. The show follows the story of Renaissance writers Nick and Nigel Bottom as they seek to outshine Shakespeare by writing the world’s first musical.
Something Rotten! originally opened on Broadway at the St. James Theatre in 2015 and received several Best Musical nominations, 10 Tony Award nominations and was hailed by Time Out New York as “the funniest musical comedy in at least 400 years”.

Pippin – 50th Anniversary Concert was produced by Katy Lipson for Aria Entertainment & Carter Dixon McGill Productions with LMTO performing the infectiously unforgettable score from four-time Grammy winner, three-time Oscar winner and musical theatre giant, Stephen Schwartz.
Performed on 29th and 30th April 2024, LMTO’s involvement was heralded by Schwartz as a “once in a blue moon event” adding “Although there have been some excellent recent productions of Pippin in the UK, the show never gets to be heard with a full live orchestra and choir.”
