That's CURTAINS with an S, not CURTAINS with a Z...

I'm totally pumped about this new Kander and Ebb (and Rupert Holmes) musical coming to Broadway! Not that anyone is tired of CHICAGO...

According to this article in Playbill:

John Kander, Fred Ebb and Rupert Holmes' musical comedy Curtains will next play at Broadway's Al Hirschfeld Theatre.

Following a world-premiere run in Los Angeles this summer at Center Theatre Group's Ahmanson Theatre, the backstage murder-mystery heads to New York for a Feb. 27, 2007, start and a March 22 opening.

Scott Ellis (Twelve Angry Men, The Little Dog Laughed) directs and Rob Ashford choreographs. Original stars David Hyde Pierce, Debra Monk, Karen Ziemba, Jason Danieley, Jill Paice and Edward Hibbert will reprise their turns for the Broadway run.

The cast also features John Bolton as theatre critic Daryl Grady, Michael X. Martin as stage manager Johnny Harmon, Michael McCormick as nervous investor Oscar Shapiro, Noah Racey as lead dancer/choreographer Bobby Pepper and Megan Sikora as aspiring dancer Bambi Bernstein.

And shout out to Allison Spratt, who played Faith Hope in the 2005 NYMF production of PLANE CRAZY, who will be swinging and understudying several principal roles in the show! Congrats Allison!
