The music video, which was released last week, features Borle's 2015 Tony Award-winning performance as William Shakespeare (The Bard). In the song he humblebrags about how hard it is to be famous. The video includes props and costumes from Something Rotten!, and locations around Times Square including the exterior of the St. James Theatre.
Something Rotten! tells the story of Nick and Nigel Bottom, two playwrights struggling to come up with a hit in the age of Shakespeare. The show has a book by Karey Kirkpatrick and John O'Farrell and music and lyrics by Karey Kirkpatrick and Wayne Kirkpatrick.
Something Rotten! is playing at the St. James Theatre.
