CURTAINS unfolds backstage at Boston’s Colonial Theatre in 1959, 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, Lieutenant Frank Cioffi (David Hyde Pierce) arrives to conduct an investigation. But the lure of the theatre proves irresistible 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.

David Hyde Pierce won the 2007 Tony Award® for Best Actor in a Musical for his performance in CURTAINS. The production also received Drama Desk Awards for Best Featured Actress in a Musical (Debra Monk), Best Book of a Musical (Rupert Holmes, Peter Stone), an Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical (Karen Ziemba), and special awards from the Drama Desk and Drama League to the legendary songwriting team of John Kander & Fred Ebb for Lifetime Achievement in the Theatre
