JUMPERS is an outrageous comedy, crackling murder mystery, and musical spectacle, all at once. The elements include an ill-fated moon landing, a naked lady on a swing, a dead body in the closet, a pyramid of acrobats, an onstage band and a trained tortoise on the loose.

George Moore (Simon Russell Beale), a professor of philosophy, is struggling to write a speech about moral absolutes and the existence of God, while coping with the distraction of his mentally unbalanced wife, Dorothy (Tony Nominee, Essie Davis), a musical comedy star, and the murder investigation being conducted in their bedroom.

The Critics Are Jumping!

"This High-flying, eye-popping production is a comic mystery of scintillating style and polish and a good old-fashioned detective story with razzle-dazzle showmanship. The peerless Mr. Russell Beale makes a dazzling Broadway debut. And the divine Essie Davis is perfect" 

-Ben Brantley, The New York Times."

"Jumpers is way over the moon! Tom Stoppard's dazzling tour de farce is bewitching, triumphant, and screamingly funny! A pluperfect cast: Mr. Beale is just wonderful. Ms. Davis is entrancing!"

-Clive Barnes, New York Post
