The original New York cast members of the off-Broadway musical Murder for Two will head to the Geffen Playhouse's Audrey Skirball Kenis Theater to reprise their roles. Murder for Two will run from May 26-July 5, with a press opening planned for June 3.

Murder for Two is a comic musical murder mystery in which everyone is a suspect. In the zany two-actor musical, one actor investigates the crime while the other plays all of the suspects — and they both play the piano.

The musical comedy stars Jeff Blumenkrantz as The Suspects and Brett Ryback as Marcus. It features a book and music by Joe Kinosian, book and lyrics by Kellen Blair, and direction by Scott Schwartz.

Murder for Two officially opened at New World Stages on November 6, 2013, and played through June 29, 2014. The musical enjoyed an earlier run at Second Stage Uptown in summer 2013.
