"The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940 is a fun, silly, comical whodunit that will keep you guessing as to the identity of the killer at the center of its murder mystery plot. As the opening show in Grand Canyon University's 2021-2022 season...it makes for a perfect crowd-pleasing, comical romp...a fast-paced show set in a mansion with numerous secret doors and passageways....a snowstorm rages outside the house, the phone lines and electricity go out, and the cast of eccentric characters, some of whom are using secret identities, start getting bumped off while trying to determine just who amongst them is the killer....Michael Kary (is) an expert at fight direction and physical comedy staging. His cast for this production deliver some terrifically staged comical fight sequences and scenes that feature bodies being humorously dragged across the stage and propped up against a piano, chairs and doors....Kary's direction and the cast's ability to deliver what's required of them result in many funny sequences and provide a few moments of suspense as well. William Symington's set design is superb...The cast all do a fairly good job in bringing their comical characters to life...intriguing, silly fun and an enjoyable theatrical treat for comedy and murder mystery fans." -Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway (click here to read the complete review)
