CURTAINS is coming to Chanticleer!

Get ready for a dazzling night of comedy, mystery, and Broadway-style music!

Step into 1959, where the spotlight is set on Boston’s Colonial Theatre for the opening night of a highly anticipated new musical. But when the leading lady mysteriously dies on stage, the entire cast and crew become suspects! Enter a local detective with a passion for musical theater, and you’ve got a hilarious whodunit that’s bursting with charm, wit, and show-stopping tunes.

CURTAINS features a book by Rupert Holmes, with additional lyrics by John Kander, music by Fred Ebb, and an original book and concept by Peter Stone. With a brilliant score and a script that sparkles, this murder mystery on stage is as fun and catchy as they come. Audiences will be treated to an unforgettable evening filled with laughs, drama, and delightful musical numbers.

Under the direction of Todd Uhrmacher, the talented cast is bringing this Broadway hit to life. Thomas Stoysich stars as Lieutenant Frank Cioffi, leading a stellar ensemble including Jill Stark as Niki Harris, John Arnsdorff as Aaron Fox, and Sarah Ebke as Georgia Hendricks. Beth King as Carmen Bernstein, Bee Hampton as Bambi Bernét, Jim Farmer as Oscar Shapiro, and Mark Reid as Christopher Belling are just a few of the many exceptional performers who will bring this engaging show to life.

The show’s choreography, created by Julie Stanfill, adds another layer of excitement, with dazzling dance numbers performed by a talented ensemble, including Adam Fulbright, Sherry Josand Fletcher, Jacob Goetz, and many more. With a production team that includes Dr. D. Laureen Pickle as Music Director and Riley Pope as Stage Manager, CURTAINS promises to be a fast-paced, hilarious, and unforgettable night.
