"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 her curtain call, Lieutenant Frank Cioffi arrives on the scene 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 towards making the show a hit, as he is in solving the murder." -curtainsthemusical.com
