Collect When Did Christian Borle Leave Something Rotten?

Christian Borle left the cast of Something Rotten on July 16, 2016. He was preparing for his next role in Falsettos, which opened in previews on September 29, 2016, and officially on October 27, 2016.

It’s understandable why Borle would make this decision. Falsettos is a critically acclaimed musical that won Tony Awards for Best Revival of a Musical, Best Book of a Musical, and Best Featured Actress in a Musical. It’s a demanding role, and Borle would have needed to dedicate all his time and energy to rehearsals and performances.

It’s worth noting that Borle’s departure was a bittersweet moment for fans of Something Rotten. He had received critical acclaim for his performance as Nick Bottom, and his presence was a major draw for audiences. But it was also clear that he was moving on to bigger and better things. He’s a talented actor with a bright future ahead of him, and his decision to leave Something Rotten was a testament to his commitment to his craft.

Borle’s departure allowed another talented actor, Rob McClure, to take over the role of Nick Bottom. McClure was no stranger to the stage, having starred in productions like Honeymoon in Vegas and Chaplin. He was well-received by audiences and critics, and he continued to bring the character to life in his own unique way.

Even though Borle’s time in Something Rotten was short-lived, his impact on the show was undeniable. He helped make it one of the most successful Broadway musicals of the year, and his performance as Nick Bottom will be remembered by fans for years to come.
