According to Ken Mackenzie-Forbes, Artistic Director of the Production Company, the casting of Curtains “reflects the depth of artistic excellence […] in Melbourne.”
Opening on 20 August in the State Theatre, Arts Centre Melbourne for a season of 10 performances, the short run will mark the Australian professional premiere of Curtains, which opened on Broadway in 2007. Playing more than 500 performances and nominated for multiple Tony Awards during its New York outing, Curtains is described as a “musical whodunnit”, a detective thriller “with a cast of colourful backstage characters”.
