There is a preview scheduled for tomorrow night, but it has already sold out, so I'd suggest buying tickets in advance.
This is sure to be an amazing show. From what I've heard, the cast is full of some of the best the area has to offer, and I know that Mr.Wyatt knows how to put on a show! Expect a review during the first weekend, most likely after opening night.
I've posted a short synopsis below. A lot of people don't know much about this show, but I caught it on Broadway, and it is HYSTERICAL! The script is witty and quick, the music is good, old-fashioned camp and the dancing always impresses!

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.
The musical features music by John Kander and lyrics by Fred Ebb.
