Tickets available for The Theater League of Clifton's main stage production of "The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940"
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 Helsa’s are there? Suspense and hilarity go hand in hand in this side splitting, murder mystery comedy.
