<p>When a supremely untalented musical theater star is murdered
after her disastrous opening night, Lt. Frank Cioffi locks
down
the theater to investigate. A musical theater fan himself, the
lieutenant braves danger to solve the case, save the show, and
maybe even get the girl. This musical is "deadly fun!"</p>
