54. "Curtains" by John Kander, Fred Ebb, Rupert Holmes, and Peter Stone


Debra Monk steals the show. Debra Monk steals the show. Debra Monk steals the fucking show... and then David Hyde Pierce steals the fucking show. It's a classic musical comedy whodunit filled with showstoppers, knee-slappers, and side-splitters. And DHP is just too cute for words. His bumbling detective cum community theater star is pitch perfect. I can't wait to go back and see it again. It's everything "The Drowsy Chaperone" wants to be and more. And did I mention that Debra Monk steals the show?
