Best friends Guy and Girl used to be a couple. Desperate to buck singlehood, they decide that even considering their atrocious blind dating track record, it's worth another shot.

Curtains unfolds backstage at Boston's Colonial Theatre, where a new musical could be a Broadway smash, were it not for the presence of its talent-free leading lady. When the hapless star dies on opening night during curtain call, Lieutenant Frank Cioffi arrives on the scene to conduct an investigation. But the lure of the theatre proves irresistable and after an unexpected romance blooms for the stage-struck detective, he finds himself just as drawn toward making the show a hit, as he is
in solving the murder!
Curtains is an original musical comedy with a book by Rubert Holmes (mutiple Tony Award winner for the Mystery of Edwin Drood, Say Goonight Gracie), music by John Kander, lyrics by Fred Ebb (the Tony Award winning song writers of Cabaret, Chicago, New York New York), orginal book and concept by the Tony Award winner Peter Stone ( 1776, Titanic, The Will Rogers Follies) and additional lyrics by
John Kander and Rupert Holmes.
"This is "Curtains," a brand new old Broadway musical
and it won't be curtains for this "Curtains" for a long time to come. John Kander and Fred Ebb have dished up a musical that is pure delight and laughter, and if you find yourself thinking you've seen it before, it's because you have. "Curtains" is a grand tribute to every grand musical that ever appeared on Broadway."
