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.
