Curtains is set in 1959 in Boston, during the pre-Broadway tryout of a new musical. When the leading lady dies mysteriously onstage during the applause at the end of the show, the entire company and creative team are possible suspects; their various motives must be sorted out by a local detective who happens to be a musical theater fan (to be played by Pierce).

Also featured in the cast are John Bolton, Michael X. Martin, Michael McCormick, Megan Sikora, and Robert Walden. The ensemble includes Nili Bassman, Ward Billeisen, Jennifer Dunne, David Eggers, J. Austin Eyer, Matt Farnsworth, Patty Goble, Mary Ann Lamb, Brittany Marcin, Jim Newman, Jessica Lea Patty, Joe Aaron Reid, Darcie Roberts, and Christopher Spaulding. The production design team includes Anna Louizos (sets), William Ivey Long (costumes), Peter Kaczorowski (lighting), Brian Ronan (sound), William David Brohn (orchestrations), and David Loud (music direction).

Kander worked closely with his songwriting partner Ebb and with Stone, an award-winning book writer, on the project for many year before their deaths; Holmes came in more recently to complete the book. The Ahmanson production of Curtains is likely to open on Broadway during the 2006-2007 season.
