On Monday, December 17 the cast of the musical Curtains celebrated the holidays in a private party at the Hawaiian Tropic Zone Restaurant (49th & 7th) hosted by Dennis Riese (restaurant owner) and Boulevard Magazine.
Current and past members of the cast were in attendance, including stars David Hyde-Pierce, Debra Monk, Karen Ziemba, Jill Paice, Edward Hibbert and Jason Danieley.
Plus the creative team including Scott Ellis (director),
Roger Berlind (producer), Daryl Roth (producer), John Kander (music), Rupert Holmes (book) and Rob Ashford
(choreographer).
"Curtains unfolds backstage at Boston's Colonial Theatre in 1959, where a new musical could be a Broadway smash, were it not for the presence of its talent-free leading lady. When the hapless star dies on opening night during her curtain call, Lieutenant Frank Cioffi (David Hyde Pierce) arrives on the scene to conduct an investigation. But the lure of the theatre proves irresistible and after an unexpected romance blooms for the stage-struck detective, he finds himself just as drawn toward making the show a hit, as he is in solving the murder," explain press notes.
