The new musical comedy, Curtains, continues its run at Fountain Hills Theater.
It’s the brassy, bright and promising year of 1959. Boston’s Colonial Theatre is host to the opening night performance of a new musical version of Robin Hood.
When the leading lady mysteriously dies on stage, the entire cast and crew are suspects. Enter a local detective, who just happens to be a musical theatre fan. Curtains is a wonderfully entertaining play within a play, as well as a “whodunit” new musical comedy featuring one of the last scores by legendary, Tony Award-winning songwriters John Kander and Fred Ebb (Cabaret, Chicago, New York, New York). Curtains was nominated for nine Tony Awards, winning for its star, David Hyde Pierce.
