An artful blend of music, mayhem and classic murder mystery!
The fast-paced musical Murha kahdelle (Murder for Two) combines a musical comedy with a thrilling murder mystery. This hilarious show features two actors on stage, one of whom investigates a crime, the other plays all ten suspects – and on top of that, they both play the piano!
When famous author Arthur Whitney is shot dead at his birthday party, the world’s best detectives have a case to solve. The only problem is that they are all out of town. This is where local policeman Marcus Moscowicz enters the picture, dreaming of a promotion. To prove himself, Marcus must solve the case before the actual detective arrives. The clock is ticking and suspicions are growing, but who will they ultimately point to?
Murha kahdelle (Murder for Two), the fun and award-winning Off-Broadway musical, premiered on 8 November 2023 as a co-production between Music Theatre Kapsäkki and Linnateatteri. The musical was directed by Chris Whittaker, choreographer of the acclaimed Anastasia musical (Tampere Theatre). Murder for Two was his directorial debut in Finland.
The actors putting themselves on the line on stage are the versatile and skilled Joel Mäkinen and Juha Pulli.
