Synopsis

Curtains unfolds backstage at Boston's Colonial Theatre in 1959, where a new musical could be a Broadway smash, were it not for the presence of its talent-free leading lady. When the hapless star dies on opening night during her curtain call, Lieutenant Frank Cioffi (David Hyde Pierce) arrives on the scene to conduct an investigation. But the lure of the theatre 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.

The musical features music by John Kander and lyrics by Fred Ebb. Scott Ellis directs.

Review: A Pierce Triumph by Rebecca.Fitzgerald

David Hyde Pierce saves this "grandmothers musical". It is a delight to watch him perform the role of detective/theater wannabe. He can sing, he can dance, and his comedic style is that of the greats. Recommendation: See before the curtains close.

Review: Curtains was Fantastic! by Renata Cheeseman

I loved this show! It was absolutely everything that I imagined a Broadway show to be. It was set back in the glory days of Broadway, it had murder, mystery, romance, lots of singing and dancing, plus it was really funny. David Hyde Pierce was wonderful, as were the rest of the cast. I highly recommend it to anyone, but especially those who have never seen a Broadway show. Fantastic!!
