Following acclaimed runs in New York and London, Murder For Two is heading to the New Theatre from 23 – 27 October.
[aoa id=”1″]Murder For Two is a hilarious high-energy musical whodunit with a madcap twist and a loving homage to the canon of murder mystery plays. It’s a brilliant blend of music, mayhem and murder, with two actors playing thirteen characters – and the piano.[/aoa]
Ed MacArthur and Jeremy Legat, who both starred in the European Premiere in 2017, will both reprise their performances as ‘Officer Marcus Moscowicz’ and ‘The Suspects’.
