Murder For Two Tickets

Murder for Two is a musical comedy to die for, an outrageous blend of music, mayhem, and murder. In this hilarious 90-minute show, two performers play 13 roles – not to mention the piano – in a rip-roaring parody of classic murder mysteries.

The Story: Officer Marcus Moscowicz is a small-town policeman with dreams of making it to detective. One fateful night, shots ring out at the surprise birthday party of Great American Novelist Arthur Whitney, and the writer is killed…fatally. 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. Did Dahlia Whitney, Arthur’s scene-stealing wife, give him a big finish? Or was it Dr. Griff?

Richard Carroll's Director Note: “From the moment I first saw this brilliant, inventive and hilarious show, I knew Australian audiences would lap it up. I’m so thrilled we’re able to present the Australian premiere of Murder For Two in its natural home, the Hayes Theatre. The show is a jaw-dropping vehicle for two incredible piano-playing actor-comedians, and Gabbi Bolt and Maverick Newman are the two geniuses that this show needs. They sing, they dance, they play multiple roles and classical piano - and they will keep you in stitches for the entire show.”

“Ingenious! A snazzy double-act that spins out a comic mystery animated by funny, deftly turned songs.” – New York Times

“This whodunit... is proof positive that clever writing and excellent actors are all that is needed to captivate an audience.” - Huffington Post
