The New Year Starts With Music, Comedy and Murder Whodunit at ACT II Team Angels - Act II Entertainment
December 23, 2014

Ringing in the New Year, the Musical Comedy Murders of 1940 will hit the Main Stage of ACT II Entertainment in Puerto Vallarta on January 2, 2015.

An hilarious whodunit...set in the mansion library of Elsa von Grossenkneuten in Chappaqua NY in 1940. She has invited the crew of a musical that had a series of murders associated with it to her home to consider a new show which she will produce. This is actually a ruse to reopen the cold case of the Stage Door Slasher. To tell you any more would spoil the fun.

Secret passageways, Nazi saboteurs, and dead bodies combine to create a blizzard of mayhem in this sidesplitting comedy.

Poking antic fun at the more ridiculous aspects of "show biz" and the corny thrillers of Hollywood's heyday, the play is a non-stop barrage of laughter as those assembled (or at least those who aren't killed off) untangle the mystery of the Stage Door Slasher.

New York Magazine hails Murders as "the intelligent person's kind of nonsense."

This murder mystery is a nonstop ride of laughs and mystery, directed by Danny Mininni. This is Danny's second time in the director's chair for this show. In 1990 his California production was honored by winning the L.A. TIMES Best Pick of the Week with extended runs and sold out shows.

Musical Comedy Murders of 1940 will be starring many of Vallarta's favorites: Act II founding member Elizabeth Ensor, Mary Amelotte, Anthony St Martin, Roger Uscila, Stephanie Wright watts, Adam Bishop, Salvador Ruiz, Cherry De Lorenzo, Heidi Pitts and Hal Bonta.

MCM will be performed on Wednesdays through Saturdays, January 2 - 17, 2015 at 8:00 pm.

Tickets are 200 pesos for Regular Seating, 250 pesos for Preferred Seating and 350 for Preferred Seating Plus 2 Drinks (well, wine or beer).
