Project Synopsis
It takes two to tango and two to pull off a wild musical murder comedy! Murder for Two is the story of a disastrous surprise birthday party for novelist Arthur Whitney. The big surprise was that one of the guests murdered the novelist because he had the habit of revealing his friends darkest, naughtiest secrets in his novels. First on the scene is small town cop Marcus Moscowicz, who has dreams of becoming a big city detective, and solving this case in record time could be his ticket to the big time. There are 13 suspects and they all have good reason to want Whitney dead and buried, so Moscowicz has his job cut out for him.

Description
All ethnicities and backgrounds are encouraged to audition. This role requires a high skill level of piano playing, singing ability and performance. Comedic skills, some dance and ability to improv are assets. This fast paced, 90-minute, musical whodunnit features two actors who act, sing and play the piano throughout. They accompany themselves, each other and sometimes play together. The actor cast as THE SUSPECTS needs a high energy and versatile performance that can switch between the 10 different characters at the drop of a hat. Vocal range: Bb3-E5 (as written, but can be transposed) Grade 9 RCM piano ability for the most difficult passages of music.
