"Curtains", the hilariously suspenseful musical comedy whodunit is set in the bright and promising year of 1959 when Boston’s Colonial Theatre hosts the opening night performance of Robbin’ Hood, a new musical. When the talentless leading lady mysteriously dies on stage, the entire cast and crew are suspects. Local Detective Frank Cioffi, who just happens to be a musical theatre aficionado, steps in to solve the case while falling in love and working to save the show. With unforgettable music by John Kander and lyrics by Fred Ebb, and a charming blend of mystery, romance, and Broadway razzle-dazzle, Curtains will keep audiences guessing and laughing from start to finish.
