SHOW INFORMATION
It's the brassy, bright and promising year of 1959. Boston's Colonial Theatre is host to the opening night performance of a new musical Robbin' Hood of the Old West. When the horribly untalented leading lady, Jessica Cranshaw, is murdered during the show (much to the relief of everyone) the entire cast and crew are suspects.
Enter local detective Lt. Frank Cioffi of the Boston Police Department who just happens to be a musical theatre fan. Can he solve the case, save the show, prevent more murders and get the girl before the curtain next rises without getting bumped off himself? After all, putting on a musical can be murder!
