Join us for the FREE “Killer Cabaret” After Party
Each of the actors in the show has prepared a solo of a classic Broadway song that they will perform during the show if they are selected as the killer. But that means only one person gets to do their song during each performance, so we’re going to do a special FREE cabaret show after the final performance on Sunday to allow everyone to sing their song!
All ticketholders to all performances are invited to attend for free to see 10 incredible performances in an unscripted, cabaret setting where anything could happen.
Sunday, February 22 at (around) 6pm. Just show your ticket or give your name at the door!
Our Cocktails Are So Good They Should Be Illegal!
Songs
Act 1
Another Op’Nin, Another Show (Ensemble)
Cole Porter wrote the music and lyris for “Kiss Me Kate,” which premiered on Broadway in 1948 and has had several successful revivals over the years winning 11 Tony Awards.
What’s Gonna Happen (Daisy Levi)
From the musical “Tootsie,” which premiered on Broadway in 2019 and won two Tony Awards for Best Book and Best Performance by a Leading Actor.
When You’re Good to Mama (Bailiff Marsha Law)
“Chicago” debuted on Broadway in 1975 and was nominated for 10 Tony Awards but won zero believe it or not. The 1996 revival was nominated for eight Tony’s and won six of them.
I’m Still Here (Judge Judy Gavelstein)
Stephen Sondheim wrote the music and lyrics for “Follies,” which had its Broadway debut in 1971. Between the original production and a 2011 revival, the show has won eight Tony Awards.
Schadenfreude (ADA Willie Proveitt)
From the musical “Avenue Q,” which premiered on Broadway in 2003 and won three Tony’s including Best Musical.
Sexy (Attorney Sue Diligence)
“Mean Girls” had its Broadway bow in 2018 and was nominated for 12 Tony Awards but won zero. It has the dubious distinction of being tied for the Broadway show that received the most nominations and no wins with “The Scottsboro Boys” (2011) and “Slave Play” (2020).
I Am What I Am (Detective Tevye Javert)
With music and lyrics by Jerry Herman, this song was featured in “La Cage aux Folles,” which debuted on Broadway in 1983. Between the original production and two revivals in 2004 and 2010 the show has won 11 Tony Awards.
Waving Through a Window (Composer Bobby Hart)
From “Dear Evan Hansen,” with music and lyrics by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul. It premiered on Broadway in 2016 and won six Tony Awards including Best Musical.
Dear Bill (Legendary Actor Nathan Brice)
“Operation Mincemeat” opened on Broadway in 2025 and is still playing today. It was nominated for four Tony Awards and Jak Malone won for Best Performance by an Actor in a Featured Role in a Musical.
Independently Owned (Producer Evita Valjean)
From the musical “Shucked,” which premiered on Broadway in 2022 and was nominated for 9 Tony Awards. Alex Newell won for Best Featured Actor in a Musical.
Rose’s Turn (Assistant Rose Doolittle)
“Gypsy” features music by Jules Styne and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. It debuted on Broadway in 1959 but despite 8 Tony Award nominations, it won zero. Subsequent revivals in 1974, 1989, 2008, and 2024 garnred over a dozen additional nominations and 8 total wins.
You Can’t Stop the Beat (Ensemble)
From the musical “Hairspray,” based on the film by John Waters. It premiered on Broadway in 2002 and won 8 Tony Awards including for Best Musical.
Act 2
(Savannah) Cabaret (Ensemble)
Based on the title song from “Cabaret,” with parody lyrics by Rick Garman who has learned to embrace the fact that we do stupid shows.
Suddenly Seymour (ADA Willie Provett and Attorney Sue Diligence)
From “Little Shop of Horrors,” which has been a long-running hit Off Broadway. It had a Broadway production in 2003 that was considered a “revival” even though it had only ever played Off Broadway.
Take Me Or Leave Me (Judge Judy Gavelstein and Bailiff Marsha Law)
“Rent” opened on Broadway in 1996 and won four Tony Awards, including Best Musical and posthumous awards for Best Score and Best Book for writer/composer Jonathan Larson, who died unexpectedly the night before the first Off Broadway preview.
Sit Down You’re Rockin’ the Boat (Ensemble)
From “Guys and Dolls” with music and lyrics by Frank Loesser. It received its Broadway bow in 1950 and has been revived several times, winning a total of nine Tony Awards.
Whatever Lola Wants (Usherette Lola Todd and Usher Swenney Bowles)
“Damn Yankees” premiered on Broadway in 1955 with the legendary Gwen Verdon starring. The original production won seven Tony Awards and a 1994 revival added another for a total of eight.
For the Gaze (Ensemble)
The musical “Death Becomes Her” is based on the Meryl Streep/Goldie Hawn/Bruce Willis movie of the same name. It debuted on Broadway in 2024 and received nine Tony Award nominations, but only won one (for Best Costume Design), which we think is a travesty.
For Her (Director Alexander Higgins, Choreographer Harold Hamilton)
From “The Great Gatsby,” which premiered on Broadway in 2024 and claimed one Tony Award win for Best Costume Design in a Musical.
For Good (Defendant Daisy Levi and Broadway Star Hattie LaTone)
If you don’t know which musical this is from, you shouldn’t be at this show. “Wicked” debuted on Broadway in 2003 and has been playing ever since. With over 8,500 performances under its belt, it is the fourth longest-running Broadway musical in history, behind only “Phantom of the Opera,” “The Lion King,” and “Chicago.”
The Song You Can Ignore (Ensemble)
Lyrics by Rick Garman.
The Killer’s Confession Song (The Killer)
Whoever the audience chooses as the guilty party will sing a solo of their choosing.
Don’t Stop Believin’ (Ensemble)
From the jukebox musical “Rock of Ages,” which debuted on Broadway in 2009 and ran for six years. It was nominated for five Tony Awards, but won zilch. It has continued to be a hit with audiences, though, with more than a dozen worldwide or touring productions over the years.
