SUMMARY
A zany, entertaining musical that takes a satirical poke at Agatha Christie mysteries and musical styles of the English music hall of the '30s. Ten people are stranded in an isolated English country house during a raging thunderstorm. One by one they're picked off by cleverly fiendish devices. As the bodies pile up in the library, the survivors frantically race to uncover the identity and motivation of the cunning culprit.
HISTORY
Something's Afoot premiered at the Alliance Theater in Atlanta in 1972, and was then produced at the Goodspeed Opera House, in East Haddam, Connecticut, at the American Theatre in Washington, D.C., and by the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco and Los Angeles. The play opened on Broadway at the Lyceum Theatre in New York City on May 27, 1976. It was produced by Emanuel Azenberg, Dasha Epstein, and John Mason Kirby. It was directed and choreographed by Tony Tanner. It was subsequently produced on the West End at the Ambassadors Theatre in London in 1977.
