"Something's afoot and the butler didn't do it!"
This burlesque of Agatha Christie mysteries is too small for Broadway but sparkles in a black box. The book and score are slight but the set design is a magical puzzle box of low tech death traps.
After a tour, a short Broadway
run, and a longer run in London, the show has survived in amateur groups and the occasional regional production. Though no cast recording exists the show was taped for
Showtime in 1982 starring Jean Stapleton and Andy Gibb.
