A killer musical comedy

Officer Marcus Moscowicz is a small town policeman with dreams of making it to detective. One fateful night, shots ring out at the surprise birthday party of novelist Arthur Whitney and the writer is killed… fatally. With the nearest detective an hour away, Marcus jumps at the chance to prove his sleuthing skills—with the help of his silent partner, Lou. But whodunit? Did Dahlia Whitney, Arthur’s scene-stealing wife, give him a big finish? Is Barrette Lewis, the prima ballerina, the prime suspect? Did Dr. Griff, the overly-friendly psychiatrist, make a frenemy? Marcus has only a short amount of time to find the killer and make his name before the real detective arrives…and the ice cream melts!

A zany blend of classic musical comedy and madcap mystery, this 90 minute whodunit is a highly theatrical duet loaded with killer laughs.

“INGENIOUS! A snazzy double-act that spins out a comic mystery animated by funny, deftly turned songs.”
– The New York Times
