It's the brassy, bright and promising year of 1959.  Boston's Colonial Theatre is host to the opening night performance of Robbin' Hood!, "a new musical of the Old West."  The only problem?  It's terrible!  The curtains rise on the show's merciful finale.  Act Two. Scene 23.  Chief among the problems is the leading lady of the production, a former film star who can't act, can't sing, and can't dance, not even a little.  But when the curtains fall to reveal her mysteriously "passed on," the entire cast & crew are suspects.  Enter a local detective, who just happens to be a musical theatre fan!  With wonderful songs by Kander and Ebb (Chicago, Cabaret, Kiss of the Spider Woman), this backstage whodunit is populated with delightful (and delightfully horrid) characters that all audiences will enjoy and a cast of 30 students from both act 1 and act 2 will sink their teeth into!
