Curtains is written by Rupert Holmes, and is based on the original book by Peter Stone, with music by John Kander and lyrics by Fred Ebb (Chicago and Cabaret). Performances are Tuesday - Saturday at 7:30 p.m., Wednesday at 1 p.m., Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m., through July 28. Preview performances are July 5 - 7 at 7:30 p.m. Moderated talkbacks with the cast are offered on Friday, July 19 after the 7:30 p.m. show and Wednesday, July 24 after the 1:00 p.m. show.

Curtains debuted on Broadway in 2007 and was nominated for eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Book and Best Original Score. As Curtains opens, the chief sleuth, Lieutenant Frank Cioffi, who harbors a secret affinity for musical theater, investigates the murder of a Broadway-bound theater company’s tremendously untalented star on opening night. Could the culprit be the hard-edged lady producer, one of the recently divorced songwriting team, the egomaniacal British director, or the seemingly sweet ingénue? Curtains will have you on the edge of your seat - laughing! In addition to director Gavin Mayer, the creative team includes David Nehls (musical director), Kitty Skillman Hilsabeck (choreographer), Brian Mallgrave (scene design), Clare Henkel (costume design), David Thomas (sound design) and Jane Spencer (light design).

This new musical is brought to the stage in partnership with writer Rupert Holmes (Tony® Award winner for Best Musical, Best Book, and Best Music and Lyrics for The Mysteries of Edwin Drood), Grammy® Award- winning composer Melissa Manchester, and Oscar-nominated lyricist Sharon Vaughn. TUTS Underground not only brings a wider musical theatre experience to Houston, but also serves as a launchpad – giving the TUTS Underground audience first view of new, emerging works. Based on The New York Times best-selling series (with a cult following) The Sweet Potato Queens ® by author Jill Connor Browne, the musical version is loosely based on Browne’s life – showcasing the juxtaposition between her life before creating the larger-than-life character of a Sweet Potato Queen, and after. An uplifting, empowering tale of perseverance and following dreams, The Sweet Potato Queens reminds audiences that everyone deserves to be special. Susan Koozin stars as Queen Jill with Kathryn Porterfield in the role of Jackson Jill. Her friends – all named Tammy – are Christina Stroup as Floozie Tammy, Julia Krohn as Flower Tammy and, new to the TUTS Underground stage, Kerissa Arrington as Too Much Tammy.

    Nanuet, New York Brief Biography: Rupert Holmes Was Born

    11. Name: Rupert Holmes Years: February 24, 1947 – Present Residence: Nanuet, New York Brief Biography: Rupert Holmes was born under the name David Goldstein in Northwich, Cheshire, England. His father was an American army officer and his mother was an English woman. His family was musically inclined, evidenced by his father being a band leader and his brother growing up to be an opera singer. His family relocated after a few years to Nanuet, New York, where Holmes grew up and attended nearby Nyack High School. After graduating, Holmes went on to study at the Manhattan School of Music where he majored in clarinet. He married in 1969 to Elizabeth Dreifuss, whom he had three children with. In his twenties, Holmes was a session musician (composing, playing, and recording) and worked with groups such as The Cuff Links, The Buoys, and The Archies. It was at this time that he made his first appearances on the billboard charts. He went on to be a recording artist in his own right by 1974. His work was noticed by Barbra Streisand and was utilized in the movie A Star Is Born. "Escape" debuted on Holmes' fifth album, Partners in Crime, and reached the Hot 100 No. 1 Hits of 1979 becoming the last number one song of the 1970s. A number of his songs such as “Town Square” and “Terminal,” directly or indirectly reference where he grew up around Nyack. He wrote a single for The Jets called "You Got It All" which was later rerecorded by Britney Spears in 2000. Holmes also went on to become a playwright with plays such as The Mystery of Edwin Drood, the Tony Award-nominated ("Best Play 2003") Say Goodnight, Gracie, and musical theatre version of the film The First Wives Club.

  • Curtains Audition

    Curtains Audition

    Foothill Music Theatre and Foothill Theatre Arts Department Announces Open Auditions From the creators of “Cabaret” and “Chicago”... The 2007 Tony-Award Broadway hit – a Backstage Musical Murder Mystery Music and Lyrics by John Kander and Fred Ebb; Book by Rupert Jones and Peter Stone. The Staff – Direction Jay Manley; Musical Direction – Mark Hanson; Choreography – Dottie Lester-White; Associate Director – Mary Welty-Dapkus; Scenic Design – Joe Ragey; Costume Design – Janis Bergmann; Lighting Design – Kurt Landisman. The Story of “Curtains” – Curtains is a backstage musical with a “play-within-the play”. Set in the 1950’s it tells the story of a troupe of actors, the cast of "Robbin' Hood," an ill-conceived musical in its Boston pre-Broadway tryout. On opening night, its supremely untalented leading lady is murdered on stage, the first of several murders. The cast is quarantined in the theatre, and the police investigation is led by Lt. Frank Cioffi, a community theatre aficionado in his off-time, who proves himself as interested in fixing the troubled musical as solving the murders. Of course, he accomplishes both tasks! The score for Curtains runs the gamut from witty patter songs, to rich ballads and lots of exciting, full ensemble numbers. Because Curtains may not be well-known to some of you, a complete story synopsis can be found at: http://www.theatricalrights.com/curtains Audition Dates and Times – Sunday evening, March 20, 6-9:30pm, or Monday evening, March 21, 6:30-9:30pm, Lohman Theatre, Foothill College. Callbacks will be scheduled March 26-29. Should you be absolutely unable to attend a preliminary audition, email us and we’ll try to arrange an alternate time.
