This brassy and bright broadway smash makes its Mac-Haydn debut! It’s opening night at the Colonial Theatre when the leading lady mysteriously dies on stage. The cast and crew are all suspects when the leading detective shows up to crack the case and save the show. From the writers of Chicago and Cabaret, this Kander and Ebb whodunnit is a laugh riot with an incredible score to boot.
