People behind the production
Musical Comedy Murders of 1940 is a witty, backstage spoof that blends parody with a classic whodunit. Created by American playwright and screenwriter John Bishop (1929–2006), this satirical murder-mystery pays affectionate tribute to 1940s film and stage culture with an incidental score by Ted Simons. Since its Broadway debut in 1987 at the Longacre Theatre, where it ran for 136 performances, the show has enjoyed continued life in regional theatres and touring productions.
