The story, men behind Curtains

Houston Chronicle: "The famed team of composer John Kander and lyricist Fred Ebb (Cabaret, Chicago), with librettist Peter Stone (1776, Titanic), had tinkered with Curtains on and off for more than 15 years. Unable to crack it, they had moved on to other shows. Yet they kept returning to their mystery musical because of its neat premise: a stage-struck detective solves a backstage murder and fixes the troubled show."
