Neglected Musicals in association with Belvoir present Curtains.
Originally produced on Broadway by Roger Berlind, Roger Horchow, Daryl Roth, Jane Bergère, Ted Hartley and Center Theatre Group. American Premiere produced at The Ahmanson Theatre by Center Theatre Group, LA’s Theatre Company.
To celebrate eleven years of Neglected Musicals presentations, the Kander and Ebb musical Curtains will be presented as part of The Belvoir Festival of Everything.
Curtains is a musical mystery comedy based on the original book and concept of the same name, the musical is a send-up of backstage murder mystery plots, set in 1959 in Boston and follows the fallout when Jessica Cranshaw, the supremely untalented star of Robbin’ Hood of the Old West is murdered during her opening night curtain call. It is up to Lt. Frank Cioffi, a police detective who moonlights as a musical theatre fan, to save the show, solve the case, and maybe even find love before the show reopens, without getting killed himself.
From the team that brought Calamity Jane to Belvoir in 2018.
Established in 2010, Neglected Musicals presents musical theatre that has never or rarely been seen in Australia. Presented with scripts in hand, and piano accompaniment after only a day’s rehearsal.
By arrangement with ORiGiN™ Theatrical On behalf of Theatrical Rights Worldwide, New York
