Farmers Alley Theatre to Present MURDER FOR TWO: HOLIDAY EDITION

One of Farmers Alley Theatre's most popular and requested shows is coming back to West Michigan, this time with a festive twist when MURDER FOR TWO: HOLIDAY EDITION premiers November 19th-December 12th. Performed in its original form to standing ovations in sold out houses during the 2016 Gilmore Piano Festival, this updated version, written by Kellen Blair and Joe Kinosian, is the perfect gift to theatre lovers this holiday season.

Everyone is a suspect in MURDER FOR TWO: HOLIDAY EDITION, a hilarious musical murder where one actor investigates the crime, the other plays all of the suspects, and they both play the piano!

Brandon Lambert stars as Detective Marcus Moscowicz and reprising his role from the 2016 Gilmore Piano Festival is star and co-creator Joe Kinosian as all 10 guests / suspects at the surprise birthday party of Great American Novelist Arthur Whitney who has just been killed....fatally. But whodunit? Arthur's scene-stealing wife, Dahlia? Is the prima ballerina, Barette Lewis, the prime suspect? What about that overly-friendly psychiatrist, Dr. Griff? Marcus most solve the case before the candy canes crumble and the killer strikes again!

The New York Times calls MURDER FOR TWO, "INGENIOUS! A snazzy double-act that spins out a comic mystery animated by funny, deftly turned songs."

Under the directing supervision of Kathy Mulay and with fun, new holiday themed material supplied by Kinosian and Blair, this hilarious whodunit is the perfect blend of music, mayhem, murder and mistletoe! Don't miss the return of this killer musical comedy - filled with holiday cheer (and fear)!
