SYNOPSIS: Two years ago, three chorus girls were murdered by the “Stage Door Slasher,” during the run of Manhattan Holiday on Broadway. Elsa Von Grossenknueten, assisted by New York Police Department Detective, Michael Kelly, reunite the creative team (producer, director, composer, librettist) of Manhattan Holiday for a backer’s audition of a new Broadway musical at Elsa’s Westchester mansion on a snowy December night. Their plan: to discover the identity of the person who murdered Elsa’s friend, Bebe McAllister. Along with an ingénue dancer, a comedian and Irish tenor (is that what they are?), and a German maid (or is she?), they are all plunged into a night of murder, mayhem, secret passageways and espionage. Can Elsa and Kelly discover the identity of the Stage Door Slasher? Is there a Nazi spy at large? Exactly how many Helsas are there? Suspense and hilarity go hand-in-hand in this side-splitting, murder mystery comedy.
