  • Venue The Chapel

Boston, 1959. Opening night of the new Wild West musical Robbin’ Hood! goes off with a bang – literally – when its spectacularly untalented leading lady collapses during the curtain call. Enter Lieutenant Frank Cioffi, a Boston detective who just happens to be a devoted musical theatre fan. With the whole company locked inside the Colonial Theatre and everyone a suspect, Cioffi sets out to catch a killer… and, while he’s at it, fix the show’s second act, falling for an ingénue along the way.

From John Kander and Fred Ebb, the legendary team behind Chicago and Cabaret, with a book by Rupert Holmes, Curtains is a toe-tapping valentine to show business, packed with big, brassy dance numbers, razor-sharp comedy and a whodunit that keeps you guessing right up until the final bow.

Part backstage farce, part murder mystery, it’s a killer night out at the theatre – and the show must go on!
