Step into the bright and optimistic world of 1959 Boston, where the premiere of new musical 'Robbin' Hood!' takes a dramatic turn. The show’s diva, Jessica Cranshaw, collapses and is rushed to the hospital, only for the cast to learn she’s been poisoned. Enter Homicide Lieutenant Frank Cioffi, who suspects one of the company members is the culprit. To solve the mystery, Cioffi holds everyone in the theatre and blends his detective skills with a keen appreciation for the theatrical chaos unfolding around him. As tensions rise, the show must go on with revised numbers and an unexpected romance. Cioffi's sleuthing reveals shocking secrets and a lot of laughs while the cast scrambles to find a new finale.
With danger lurking behind the curtain, can Cioffi unmask the killer, save the next intended victim, and ensure the show’s survival? 'Curtains' is a hilarious, high-stakes musical mystery that keeps you guessing till the final bow!
