The story is about Christopher Gill, an actor whose mother's ghost constantly haunts him for never making it to the New York Times. Haunted by his failure, he turns into a killer of women and this made him land into the broadsheets. He resorts to tipping off Morris Brummell, a single and stressed police detective whose live-in cantankerous mother wishes him to be a successful Jewish doctor. The two build a strange alliance leading to a devilish blend of humor, romance, and murder in a theatrically charged musical comedy thriller based on a bestselling novel and renowned movie.

The set is very excellent. It is very useful and they made the most out of it. I love how they enter from one side and leave into another. They used the stage efficiently.
The lighting is very commendable. I love how they dim the rest of the stage and just focus on one part of it.
The costumes were very remarkable and suitable to each character.
I have three favorite scenes or parts of this show. First is the opening. Audie is singing in one side of the stage while Joel gets dressed on the other. That's so professional to have a quick change without panicking in front of an audience. The second notable performance is how Pinky Marquez's character changes. Her accent changes with accordance to her character. Lastly, I like how the story ended. You guys should watch the show to know what I mean!
