Something Rotten is a good old-fashioned crowdpleaser, no question - this season's Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Drowsy Chaperone, Aladdin, Full Monty, 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, etc. etc. I have yet to read one cogent article or even Intermet posting, let alone a persuasive one, that makes the case that it is a serious contender for Best Musical in this busy and extremely good season, just because it's feel-good, makes people laugh, and has good production numbers. The artistry of the other two shows you don't mention is undeniable, and the race is between An American in Paris and Fun Home.
