Curtains Up in LA

The final musical by the Broadway songwriting team of John Kander and Fred Ebb has its world premiere in Los Angeles earlier this week.

Curtains is a musical comedy that follows a murder mystery plot after the leading lady of a pre-Broadway play dies onstage during the applause at the end of the show. Kander and Ebb have written the music for a number of successful productions including Chicago. The show stars David Hyde Pierce and is directed by Scott Ellis, who also directed Twelve Angry Men.
