This musical is a send-up of backstage murder mystery plots, set in 1959 Boston.  The plot details the fallout when the supremely untalented star of "Robin Hood of the Old West" is murdered during her opening night curtain call.  It is up to Lieutenant Frank Cioffi, a police detective who moonlights as a musical theatre fan, to save the show, solve the case, and maybe even find love before the show reopens ... all without getting killed himself!
