"There's no business like show business like no business I know. Everything about it is appealing, everything that traffic will allow, nowhere could you get that happy feeling when you are stealing that extra bow."

The perfect blend of music, mayhem and murder! Murder for Two is a hilarious mystery starring just two actors: one a suspicious sleuth and the other...who is the rest of the cast? All of the suspects and the murderer are interpreted by one other actor who swaps guises, accents and so much more throughout the musical. Guess what, both can play the piano too! One fateful night a small town cop named Officer Marcus Moscowicz investigates a surprise birthday party of the great American novelist Arthur Whitney.
