Synopsis
CURTAINS is a delightful and suspenseful musical comedy, featuring a Golden Age–style score by the legendary songwriting duo John Kander & Fred Ebb, the creative minds behind CABARET and CHICAGO. With a sharp, witty book by Rupert Holmes, CURTAINS combines the best elements of classic Broadway with a clever whodunnit twist that will keep audiences laughing and guessing until the very end.
Set in the brassy, bright, and promising year of 1959, Boston’s Colonial Theatre is playing host to the opening night performance of a new musical. When the leading lady mysteriously dies on stage… the entire cast and crew become suspects. Enter a local detective, who just happens to be a musical theatre fan!
With standout roles for triple-threat performers and a featured ensemble full of rich, comedic characters, CURTAINS is a musical that celebrates the joy of theatre while offering a thrilling experience for performers and audiences alike.
CURTAINS School Edition has been adapted from the original Broadway production. The School Edition has been carefully edited, with additional director’s notes throughout, to make the show more producible for secondary school and college groups/performers. Song keys have been adjusted to sit more comfortably in the range of secondary school and college performers. In some cases, problematic language has been changed, while in others an alternate choice is offered at the discretion of the director.
