Story

The only thing flatter than her note... was her pulse!!

Set Packed with glorious tunes by Kander & Ebb (Chicago and Cabaret), and a witty, charming book by Rupert Holmes, CURTAINS is a hilariously suspenseful musical comedy whodunit.

The year is 1959, and Boston's Colonial Theatre is playing host to the opening night performance of a new musical, "Robbin’ Hood". Just as the curtain falls, so does Jessica Cranshaw, the profoundly untalented leading lady of the production!

The cast and crew are thrown into chaos ... and under suspicion. Enter Lieutenant Frank Cioffi: a fast-talking Boston detective who just happens to be a musical theatre fanatic.

He quarantines the cast and crew inside the theatre while he searches for clues. But Cioffi doesn’t just investigate the murder, he finds himself juggling a budding romance, backstage drama, and also offering advice and insight into improving Robbin’ Hood. After all, the musical will open again in 24 hours with a new leading lady, so the clock is ticking to find the killer and put on a killer show.

Who could it be?

• Carmen Bernstein, the sassy and brassy producer?
• Christopher Belling, the campy and egotistical director?
• Georgia Hendricks, the lyricist who replaces Jessica onstage?
• Niki Harris, the ingenue with a secret?

Everyone is a suspect, and only Cioffi can make sense of the evidence.

Curtains is a musical-theatre parody of whodunnit classics, with numbers ranging from the classic musical theatre song-and-dance “A Tough Act to Follow” to the heartfelt “I Miss the Music.” A comedic send-up suitable for all ages, that will have you laughing until the last curtain falls.
