The Musical Comedy
Murders of 1940
November 5-8, 2009
7:30p.m. Thurs.-Sat. 2p.m. Sunday
Chipola Theatre
By John Bishop
The creative team responsible for a recent Broadway
flop in which three chorus girls were murdered by the mysterious
“Stage Door Slasher” assembles for a backer’s audition of their new
show at the Westchester estate of a wealthy “angel.” The house is
replete with sliding panels, secret passageways and a German man who
is apparently four different people – all of which figure
diabolically in the comic mayhem that follows when the infamous
“Slasher” makes his reappearance. As the composer, lyricist, actors,
and director prepare their performance, and a blizzard cuts off any
possible retreat, bodies start to drop in plain sight and accusing
fingers point in all directions. No thanks to the bumbling police
inspector who snowshoes in to investigate, the mystery is solved in
the nick of time – but not before the audience has been treated to a
sidesplitting good time and a generous serving of the author’s
biting, satiric and refreshingly irreverent wit.

The exuberant rock ’n ro1l smash hit returns to Chipola.
It’s 1960, and hip swingin’ teen idol Conrad Bridie has been drafted
into the army. But don’t worry girls! His manager Albert has cooked up a
plan to send him off with a swell new song and one last kiss from a
lucky teenage fan… on “the Ed Sullivan Show!” Featuring a score with
more pop than a pack of bubble gum, including “A Lot of Livin’ to Do,”
“Kids,” and “Put on a Happy Face,” it’s impossible to esist the charms
of this Tony Award winning musical!
