Torrent Productions is thrilled to announce that KILLER BUSINESS - THE MUSICAL will premiere at the Next Stage Theatre Festival, opening Wednesday, January 8 at 7pm at the Factory Theatre, Mainspace (The Next Stage Theatre Festival runs January 8-19, 2014)
It is the first preview of “Lucky In Love”. The Producer is hoping for a long run. The show starts with the same old song and dance until a body turns up on the stage. Now, it’s up to Richard Gunn, PI to solve the case. There’s a spoiled Diva, an aging star and a confused leading man. The backstage crew is overworked and the chorus is wooden. Everyone is a suspect. It is, after all, a KILLER BUSINESS.
Husband and wife team Robert Torr and Stephanie Graham of Torrent Productions produce again after their successful 2009 Fringe show, Hipcheck-the Musical (Patron’s Pick and Best of Fringe). They have assembled a first class creative team - including director Geoffrey Whynot and musical director Robert Graham - to bring this World Premiere to the stage.
The cast of KILLER BUSINESS - THE MUSICAL is filled with musical theatre veterans including Dora award-winner David Keeley as ‘Richard Gunn, PI’ (Rock of Ages, Billy Elliot, Urinetown, Mamma Mia), Christy Adamson (Cats, War Horse), Tess Benger (Charlottetown Festival), Matthew G Brown (Jersey Boys), Jason Adam Clarke (Drayton), Caitlin Goguen (Drayton), Christina Gordon (Stratford Festival), Duff Macdonald (Les Miserables, Drayton), Natalie Moore, and Ryan Rogerson (Neptune Theatre).

Directed by Geoffrey Whynot, Choreography By Stephanie Graham. Musical Direction by Robert Graham Lighting Design by Jennifer Lennon, Stage Managed by Alana Fredistadt, Produced by Torrent Productions.
