The Musical Murders of 1940 is a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud farce that spoofs classic backstage musicals and Agatha Christie–style murder mysteries. Set in a snowbound mansion during a 1940 out-of-town musical tryout, a colorful cast of eccentric characters finds themselves trapped as a killer begins picking them off—leading to a chaotic, slapstick whodunit full of mistaken identities and over-the-top comedy.
