Opening for the musical by Rupert Holmes (book and additional lyrics), John Kander (music and additional lyrics) and Fred Ebb (lyrics) will be March 16, for a run through May 17. Peter Stone was the original book writer. Both he and Ebb did not live to see their show bow on Broadway in the 2006-07 season. Curtains earned eight 2007 Tony Award nominations including Best Musical, Best Book, Best Score, and Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical (David Hyde Pierce, who won the award).

A play within a play, Curtains takes place backstage at Boston's Colonial Theatre in 1959. The untalented leading lady of the tryout musical Robbin' Hood of the Old West has been murdered. A show-tune-loving detective arrives to solve the crime — and save the musical.
