My view would be that since murder mysteries, once a staple of B’way, have gone out of fashion among the beautiful people who are the gatekeepers of NYC theater, this play is reaping the benefits. You’d think a smart producer would pay attention to this and start looking around for good mystery plays. Plays are for tourists, too!

This is a non-Equity production (amateur) and I’ve only heard terrible things about it.

Those beautiful people wring their hands about how straight men don't care for the theater anymore and they ask how can we attract them back? Then rather than a murder mystery or light comedy they put up shows like Kinky Boots about a drag queen with a heart of gold who saves a family's shoe business by converting it into a transvestite boot factory and features a cast of men prancing around in stiletto heeled boots. Gee, wonder why straight men just aren't that into it?
