| MURDER FOR TWO |
The Travelling Toe and 2 Dear Friends attended the Sunday matinee show of "Murder For Two" at Stage West.
The plays stars 2 energetic actors, Mark Schenfisch and Teddy Warren. They play 13 roles plus the piano, and also dance and sing.
Kellen Blair wrote the book and lyrics and Joe Kinosian wrote the book and the music.

The play is described as follows on the Stage West website:
A fateful night. A surprise party. A great American novelist is killed…fatally. A small town policeman with dreams of making detective jumps at the chance to prove his sleuthing skills and find the killer before the real detective arrives! Murder for Two is a perfect blend of music, mayhem, and murder with a twist - one actor investigates the crime, the other plays (all) the suspects, and did we mention, they both play piano! A witty and winking homage to old-fashioned murder mysteries.
The two actors Mark and Teddy really worked hard during this play. They used most of the stage area by singing, dancing and changing characters with a minimal amount of costume requirement, plus providing piano music for each other and sometimes together. This play is full of good fun and laughs.
The Travelling Toe thoroughly enjoyed this production. It reminds one of the the old drawing room mysteries where one of the guests was murdered and the rest of the guests were all suspects, with the great detective solving the crime at the end.
Do do see it if you can!
