Infectious new musical could get belly laughs from a corpse
Time Out Chicago
A mix of Agatha Christie mystery, old-fashioned musical comedy and modern panache, this whodunit comes with a killer twist: one actor investigates the crime, the other plays all 13 suspects, and they both play the piano! Following the murder of a well-known novelist, Officer Marcus Moscowicz is thrown into a houseful of eccentric and cunning characters—including a wife who is more concerned about stolen ice cream than her murdered husband and a twelve-member boys' choir that happens to be nine members short. A hilarious display of wits and musical showmanship, this madcap musical mystery will tickle the ivories and your funny bone.
