The Musical Comedy Whodunit CURTAINS

A Killer Musical Comedy Takes Center Stage

Experience the music, mystery, and mayhem of Curtains at North Shore Music Theatre, April 18-19

Boston, MA - Voices of Hope is thrilled to reveal Curtains, a riotously funny backstage mystery

where show tunes are deadly, egos are enormous, and no one is safe once the orchestra starts

playing.

Set in 1959 at Boston’s historic Emerson Colonial Theater, Curtains depicts the backstage chaos that ensues when the leading lady of a new Broadway-bound musical is mysteriously murdered on opening night. Enter a local Boston detective with a blatant obsession with musical theater, eager to solve the mystery and maybe perform a bit of soft shoe (!) before the final curtain falls.

With a cast of dramatic divas, an eccentric production team, and a series of clever plot twists, Curtains challenges audiences to guess what happens next as they are swept away by the backstage madness of this murder-mystery “whodunit,” bursting with high-energy dance, infectious melodies, and laugh-out-loud one-liners.

Featuring a brassy, joyful score by Kander and Ebb (Chicago, Cabaret) and a clever, tongue-in-cheek book by Rupert Holmes, Curtains is a love letter to old-school Broadway and a wink to anyone who’s ever been smitten by the magic (and mayhem) of live theater.

This production reflects Voices of Hope’s commitment to using the performing arts as a force for good through a community of joy, inspiration, and support. Featuring a talented local cast and a live orchestra, Curtains offers a joyful escape infused with glamour, intrigue, laughter, and classic Broadway flair.

As a Voices of Hope production, every laugh, every note, and every curtain call helps advance the fight against cancer. Come for the mystery. Stay for the music. Share the lasting impact of Curtains.
