However, everyone begins to realize that the murderer is among them as people start mysteriously dying in gruesome ways.

The play stars Rebecca Carroll as the maid Helsa Wenzel, Alicia Bishop as the wealthy investor Elsa Von Grossenknueten, Devin Everett as undercover cop Michael Kelly, Morrigan Petherick as Irishman Patrick O’Reilly, Victor Mejia as director Ken De La Maize, Shirley Gonzalez as chorus girl Nikki Crandall, Kadem Hodge as comedian Eddie McCuen, Olivia Campbell as Broadway producer Marjorie Baverstock, Elyssa Rowell as composer Roger Hopewell and Rachel Shaw as lyricist Bernice Roth.
