About This Show

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.

There’s plenty of razzle dazzle in this John Kander-Fred Ebb-Rupert Holmes-Peter Stone tuner, but not enough inspiration.
