From the songwriting wizards behind Cabaret and Chicago comes Curtains, a hit comedy whodunnit dead set on entertainment. It's 1959, and the mysterious death of a theater's leading lady makes everyone - onstage and backstage - a potential suspect. Enter fast-talking detective Frank Cioffi, a stagestruck gumshoe who sniffs out clues while donning tap shoes. With its tuneful score and clever plot, Curtains blends Agatha Christie-like mystery with the spectacular song and dance of golden-age musicals.
