Hijinks and high stakes take center stage in this musical-comedy murder mystery. When an opening night murder makes everyone a suspect, homicide detective and amateur showman Frank Cioffi has these show people toe tapping this and that way around reasonable doubt to find the real culprit–all while saving their hides and the show. With music and lyrics by legendary team Kander & Ebb (Chicago, Cabaret), this loving homage to Golden Age musicals delivers quick-witted, hilariously memorable characters, and more twists and turns than a Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers number. For the musical fan who loves clever comedy, impressive production numbers, and a little murder on the side, Curtains sure is a tough act to follow. 

Content warning: Staged murders and violence in a farcical style, brief use of stage weapons and gunshot sound effects, mildly suggestive humor. 

Curtains is presented through special arrangement with, and all authorized performance materials are supplied by Theatrical Rights Worldwide 1180 Avenue of the Americas, Suite 640, New York, NY 10036. www.theatricalrights.com
