Characters: 5 males, 5 females, optional chorus
This is a delightful, audience pleasing, one-set, musical spoof
based on Mr. Kelly's enormously popular hit The Butler Did It. Miss
Maple, a flaky society dowager, invites a pack of zany detective
writers to a spooky house on an isolated island and forces them to
impersonate their fictional sleuths. For entertainment, she
arranges some "classic" touches - a hairy face at the window, the
threat of an escaped lunatic, no communications with the outside
world. What she did not arrange was the body on the sitting room
carpet It's up to seedy Chandler Marlowe to solve the bizarre case
and he makes a side-splitting mess of it Ultimately, everyone has a
guilty secret to confess and the real killer turns out to be the
least suspected.
The happy score is dotted with likeable and show-stopping hits:
"Murder, Mystery and Mayhem," "The Moth to the Flame," "Cherchez La
Femme," "I Know My Stuff," and, of course, "The Butler Did It,"
among others. Production demands are extremely modest and the cast
of ten can be expanded if desired.
