“Brilliantly Hilarious! This bawdy, gutsy, old-fashioned comedy comes to life as two people play more than a dozen characters combined, play the piano beautifully, sing, dance, and pull every trick out of the trunk of comedy while solving a murder. If you want to laugh until you cry, see Murder for Two.”

“Filled with fabulous characters, wonderfully talented actors and a beautiful design, Murder for Two is a wonderful night of theater. Murder for Two is a fabulously written musical with a great conceit: Two actors, four hands, 13 characters, one piano, 90 minutes, two murders, and one killer. Beautifully designed, magnificently acted, and flawlessly directed, Murder for Two is a show that I suggest you don’t miss.”

—The Pittsburgh Stage

“If you're looking for 90 minutes of pure silliness, step right up to Murder for Two.”
