NYC's longest running funny romantic thriller, Perfect Crime playing in Times Square at The Theater Center, will perform a record breaking 12,000th performance tonight, July 16th at 8:00PM.
PERFECT CRIME is the Off-Broadway 'whodunit' that
New York Magazine calls "a true New York murder mystery" and the New York Times calls "a crackling thriller" and is the only NYC play to reach a record breaking 12,000 performances - it's the longest running play in NYC history. The perfect show for Law & Order and CSI fans,
Perfect Crime is a funny, romantic thriller about a psychiatrist who seems to have killed her rich husband (until he shows up very much alive); the detective who is trying to solve the supposed murder while falling in love with the primary suspect and psychiatrist's charming but crazy patient who seems to have killed a few people himself. There are
Agatha Christie - like twists and turns in the plot and there's an "answer key" for
Audience members to review after the show if they are still trying to figure out what happened and how.
Since PERFECT CRIME opened in 1987,
Catherine Russell has spent over 2.5 years of her life (nearly 18,000 hours) onstage. She has shot 90 different men and kissed 59 others. Nearly 108,000 bullets have been fired onstage and over 6,000 prop coffee cakes have been eaten. The show has employed 243 actors during its 29-year existence.
