Backstage at Boston’s Colonial Theatre, a new musical could become a Broadway smash, were it not for the presence of its talent-free leading lady.
When the hapless star dies on opening night during her curtain call, Lieutenant Frank Cioffi arrives on the scene to conduct an investigation. But the lure of the theatre proves irresistible, and Cioffi he finds himself just as drawn toward making the show a hit, as he is in solving the murder.
A talent-packed production -- a top-of-the-line cast. A worthy tribute to the long and rich partnership of Kander and Ebb, one of the toughest acts to follow on Broadway. - NY Times
