Now, I'm making plans to see Curtains on Broadway. I've had the cast recording for quite a while now and love listening to it, but I'm dying to know.... who in the world is the killer? I think I know, but I want to know for sure.
Yes, I know what some of you might be thinking.... if I'm going to see it, why would I want to know the ending? Well, I know this sounds weird, but I like knowing the plot lines of things before I go to see them (may they be shows, movies, etc.) so I'm not surprised. Yeah, I know... weird.
Anyway, can anyone help me out? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

I hope you don't die before you see it. Then you'll never know.

I'll only give you this much: there are two, but there's only one that is the most important. The clues keep coming in as the show goes on.
BUT I WILL NOT DIVULGE ONE!

Posted: 12/18/07 at 1:13amThe killer... is you. We are all the killers. That's what makes Curtains so special, you see.

It used to be Ben Brantley, too.
Yes, but he was never really good at his job.

Posted: 12/18/07 at 4:33amAnother stupid thread! Please! Why?
A young actress with Noel coward after a dreadful opening night performance said to him 'Well, i knew my lines backwards this morning!''
Noels fast reply was ''Yes dear, and thats exactly how you said them tonight'!'

They all did it and will share the blame equally. See, the man originally killed was actually a really bad fellow and so the twelve 'convicted' him (like the twelve members of a jury) and 'sentenced' him to death.
Cioffi eventually realizes that this is the only solution to what others deem the 'perfect crime'.
