Charleston Light Opera: Curtains June 26, 2009

A comedic musical "show-within-a-show" whodunit. 'Curtains' is about a Boston detective, Lt. Frank Cioffi, as he tries to solve the opening night murder of a Broadway-bound show's star. Strangely, he ends up sidetracked by his passion for musical theatre and his ideas for improving the production. 'Curtains' ran on Broadway through June 2008 and received 8 Tony nominations. The show's libretto is by Rupert Holmes, and the music and lyrics are by John Kander and Fred Ebb (Chicago, Cabaret).
