CURTAINS The Musical

About Me

CURTAINS to play its final performance, Sunday, June 29th!
CURTAINS is an original musical comedy with a book by Rupert Holmes (multiple Tony Award®-winner for The Mystery of Edwin Drood, Say Goodnight Gracie), music by John Kander, lyrics by Fred Ebb (the Tony Award®-winning songwriters of Cabaret, Chicago, and New York, New York), original book and concept by Tony Award®-winner Peter Stone (1776, Titanic, and The Will Rogers Follies), and additional lyrics by John Kander & Rupert Holmes.
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.
