Curtains is a mischievous musical murder mystery set in 1959 during the opening night of a new show at Boston’s Colonial Theatre. When the excruciatingly untalented star of Robbin’ Hood of the Old West dies on stage, the entire cast and crew become suspects. It is up to local detective (and theatre enthusiast) Frank Cioffi to solve the mystery, save the production, and perhaps even discover love before the show can reopen…
This sharp, witty comedy features an original book and concept by Peter Stone, with music by John Kander and lyrics by Fred Ebb, all brought to life (and death!) by our MA Musical Theatre cohort.
Originally Produced on Broadway by Roger Berlind, Roger Horchow, Daryl Roth, Jane Bergère, Ted Hartley and Center Theatre Group.
Curtains is presented through special arrangement with and al authorised performance materials are supplied by Theatrical Rights Worldwide (TRW).
