Award-Winning musical Curtains heads to Hanley's Regent Theatre

The Tony award-winning musical Curtains starring Jason Manford as Detective Frank Cioff head to the Regent Theatre in Stoke-on-Trent this December. Joining Jason will be musical theatre actress Carley Stenson as Georgia Hendriks, Rebecca Lock as Carmen, Samuel Holmes as Christopher Belling, Leah West as Niki Harris and Alan Burkitt as Bobby.

Written by legendary musical writing duo John Kander & Fred Ebb, this production tells the story of Jessica Cranshaw, star of the new Broadway-bound musical Robbin Hood, who has been murdered on stage on opening night! The entire cast and crew are suspects. Time to call in the local detective, Frank Cioffi, who just happens to be a huge musical theatre fan. With a nose for crime and an ear for music, Frank has his work cut out trying to find the killer whilst giving the show a lifeline.
