Whodunit? Murder, Mayhem and Music at the zany “Murder for Two”

You’ve never seen anything quite like “Murder for Two” now playing at the Marriott Lincolnshire Theatre. This hit musical comedy features two over-the-top talented actors who perform 13 different roles and play the piano throughout this 90-minute romp. Hilarity ensues, leaving you laughing out loud.

Officer Marcus Moscowicz is a small town policeman with dreams of being promoted to detective. On the eve of novelist Arthur Whitney’s surprise birthday party, shots ring out and the writer is knocked off. With the nearest detective an hour away, Marcus jumps at the chance to prove his sleuthing skills — with the help of his silent partner, Lou. But whodunit? Did Dahlia Whitney, Arthur’s scene-stealing wife, give him a big finish? Is Barrette Lewis, the prima ballerina, the prima suspect? Did Dr. Griff, the overly-friendly psychiatrist, cause his death? Everyone is a suspect in Murder for Two and no one gets away with murder!

“Murder for Two” stars Noel Carey as “Marcus” and Jason Grimm as all “The Suspects.” Grimm is a remarkable actor, taking on all the roles of both men and women with beguiling charm and comedic chops. He is a riot.

The production features elegant set design by Scott Davis, lighting design by Jesse Klug, sound design by Robert E. Gilmartin, and musical supervision by Patti Garwood.

“Murder for Two” is a modern twist on the classic directed by Jeff Award winner Scott Weinstein with Music Direction by Matt Deitchman
