🎭 CAST LIST REVEAL! 🎭

The curtain is getting ready to rise on Blue Train Theatre’s fall production of “The Sound of Murder” by Don Zolidis!

🔪November 14th, @6:00 PM
🎶Novmeber 15th, @2:00 PM

We are SO excited to officially introduce the cast and crew who will be bringing this hilarious theatrical murder mystery to life!

So, what is The Sound of Murder?

A group of some of musical theatre’s most recognizable characters has gathered together, but things quickly take a turn when someone winds up DEAD.

Suddenly, everyone is a suspect, and it’s up to the two lead investigators to make sense of the clues, the motives, and the absolute theatrical chaos unfolding onstage. With familiar faces like Mary Poppins, Alexander Hamilton, Sweeney Todd, the Phantom of the Opera, Wednesday, Maria (and Maria again?), Danny Zuko, and more thrown into one completely ridiculous murder mystery, anything can happen.

Congratulations to our incredible cast, crew, and student leaders! We can’t wait to get to work and bring this crazy show to life.

Keep an eye on the Blue Train Theatre page for rehearsal sneak peeks, ticket information, and more as we get closer to opening night!

We couldn’t be more proud of this cast and crew! It’s always bittersweet when a show ends, but we are already working on next year! But for now, get some well deserved rest.
