   It's not a musical...it's a comedy


The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940 is an ingenious and wildly comic romp which enjoyed a long, critically hailed run both on and off-Broadway. Poking antic fun at the more ridiculous aspects of "show biz" and the corny thrillers of Hollywood's heydey, the play is a non-stop barrage of laughter as those assembled (or at least who aren't killed off) untangle the mystery of the Stage Door Slasher. The Village Voice calls the show "a silly and relentlessly convoluted murder-mystery plot, with twist piled on twist till you have to give way and start laughing at the silliness...it's hugely enjoyable."
Rated a very mild PG.
