| Set in the Windy City in 1927, the show chronicles the exploits of a down-on-her-luck chorus girl as she goes on trial for murder, attracts a media circus, and parlays her dubious notoriety into fame and fortune. If all this sounds a bit like anything that could be found on Court TV today, chalk it up to creators Kander & Ebb and Bob Fosse for being way ahead of their time. | |||||

| 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 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. | |||||
