MURDER ON THE HIGH C'S Ends Run at The Rose Center 2/21
By: BWW News Desk
The Rose Center Theater's Murder on the High C's closes on February 21.
Described as Ten Little Indians meets Love Boat, Murder in the High C's highlights the glamorous 1930's, when the pleasure voyage of the SS Van Dine takes a murderous turn as a phantom killer begins wreaking havoc. Led by the hapless deductions of Professor Alastair Kenworthy, the crew and passengers begin a misguided adventure to unmask the killer. A glamorous Hollywood diva, a stowaway, a sleazy used car salesman, and a cowboy with a strange accent are just a few of the crazies who make determining ‘whodunit' as difficult as steering a cruise ship without a compass.Written by Scott Ratner (Book and Lyrics) and Tim Nelson (Music and Lyrics) and choreographed by Jennifer Simpson-Matthews, this highly acclaimed murder-mystery received rave reviews for its workshop production at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland. Critics at the festival exclaimed, "Scott Ratner and Tim Nelson must be commended...the music reminded me of classic Rodgers and Hart. One of the cleverest scripts I've seen in a while...purely entertaining." Creating the show from scratch in 1991, Scott Ratner teamed with colleague Tim Nelson to develop a musical farce that balanced their respective interests. "I have a passion for detective fiction, and Tim has a passion for the 20th century musical," says Ratner who wrote the book and also plays pompous sleuth Alastair Kenworthy. "It's pure, simple fun."FOR INFORMATION & TO PURCHASE TICKETS:(714) 793-1150 ext.1
