Enjoy the introduction music for the musical "Curtains" in this slideshow of pictures.
Brandon had a wonderful experience playing in the Pit Orchestra for his high school musical. The music was challenging and new and the sound produced from the group was impressive.
Curtains is a musical with a book by Rupert Holmes, lyrics by Fred Ebb, and music by John Kander, with additional lyrics by Kander and Holmes.
Based on the original book and concept by Peter Stone, the musical is a send-up of backstage murder mystery plots, set in 1959 Boston and follows the fallout when the supremely untalented star of Robbin' Hood of the Old West is murdered during her opening night curtain call. Can a police detective/musical theatre fan save the show, solve the case, and maybe even find love before the show reopens, without getting killed himself?
Curtains had its world premiere on July 25, 2006 at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles, soon after the producers decided to transfer the show to New York City. After twenty-three previews, the Broadway production, directed by Scott Ellis and choreographed by Rob Ashford, opened on March 22, 2007 at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre. The cast includes David Hyde Pierce, Debra Monk, Karen Ziemba, Edward Hibbert, and John Bolton (reprising the roles they played in LA), as well as Ernie Sabella. The musical garnered eight Tony Award nominations, with Hyde Pierce winning the award for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical.
