Photo Coverage: CURTAINS Makes Regional Premiere in Sacramento!
Featuring one of the last scores by the lengendary Tony Award-winning songwriting team of Kander and Ebb (CHICAGO, CABARET, ZORBA) and a book by multiple Tony Award-winner Rupert Holmes (DROOD; SAY GOODNIGHT, GRACIE), CURTAINS is set backstage in 1959 at Boston's Colonial Theatre during the pre-Broadway tryout of a new musical. When the hapless leading lady is murdered on opening night during the curtain call, Lt. Frank Cioffi is called in to investigate and the entire company and creative team become suspects. But the lure of the theater proves irresistible and after an unexpected romance blooms for the stage-struck detective, he finds himself just as drawn toward making the show a hit as he is in solving the murder. What unfolds becomes not only a "whodunit" murder mystery, but also a fun, witty and tuneful musical within a musical, sure to delight audiences of all ages. Filled with rousing show stopping tunes and dancing galore, Curtains promises to have you laughing so hard, it just might kill you! BroadwayWorld brings you a sneak peek below!
