Curtains Synopsis &
Storyline
A tribute to the big, brassy musical
comedies of the 1950s, Curtains is a savagely funny new
musical comedy, starring four-time Emmy Award-winner David Hyde
Pierce (Frasier, Spamalot) and Tony Award-winner Debra Monk (Redwood
Curtain, Steel Pier, NYPD Blue) and featuring a show-stopping
score by the team of John Kander & Fred Ebb, the Tony Award-winning
songwriters of such hits as Chicago, Cabaret and "New York,
New York."
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 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.
