Murder for Two extends run through to 06 Jul 2014

Joe Kinosia's and Kellen Blair's musical comedy Murder For Two has extended its engagement at New World Stages through to 06 Jul 2014.

The musical, which began previews from 23 Oct 2013, opened at New World Stages' Stage Five on 06 Nov 2013. The musical was originally scheduled to play a 10-week limited engagement through to 05 Jan 2014.

Directed by Scott Schwartz and choreographed by Wendy Seyb, Murder For Two currently stars it's composer Joe Kinosian and Brett Ryback.

Featuring music by Joe Kinosian, lyrics by Kellen Blair, with book by Joe Kinosia and Kellen Blair, Murder For Two is a unique take on the murder mystery in which one actor (Ryback) plays the detective, one actor (Kinosian) plays all the suspects and they both play the piano.

Great American novelist Arthur Whitney has been shot at his surprise birthday party. Officer Marcus, who longs to shed his shoddy reputation and finally become a detective, is thrown into a zany drawing room where the list of suspects reads like a who's who of crazy, from a wife who seems more concerned about who stole the ice cream than who murdered her husband to a twelve-member boys choir that is nine members short.

The creative team features scenic design by Beowulf Boritt, costume design by Andrea Lauer, lighting design by Jason Lyons and sound design by Jill BC DuBoff.

Murder For Two played an earlier New York engagement at the McGinn/Cazale Theatre from 10 Jul - 25 Aug 2013, as part of Second Stage Theatre's Uptown season.

The show is being produced Off-Broadway by Jayson Raitt, Barbara Whitman, Steven Chaikelson and Second Stage Theatre.
