About Curtains
It’s the brassy, bright, and promising year of 1959. Boston’s Colonial Theater is host to the opening night performance of a new musical. 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 theater fan and the backstage mayhem commences! Curtains was the last collaboration of John Kander and Frank Ebb, the composers of such hits as Chicago and Cabaret.
