Like Agatha Christie's "Murder on the Orient Express," everybody has a reason and an opportunity to murder Frank. The characters are all at the early part of their careers, which is why Jack Benny turns out to be the guy who figures out the real killer. The group are a mixture of fictional characters and real characters, perhaps with their original names, which will be changed as they become famous. Also there is a big Surprise at the end of the book but you have to be a real movie buff to recognize it.

    Live From The Hotel Edison Times Square Chronicles Presents: On Location For Meet and Greet of The New Musical Brooklyn Bridge

    Join us for a special episode of Live From The Hotel Edison as we take an exclusive first look at Brooklyn's Bridge, the powerful new musical making its world premiere next week. Inspired by the extraordinary true story of Emily Roebling, Brooklyn's Bridge shines a long-overdue spotlight on the remarkable woman whose leadership and determination helped complete one of New York City's greatest engineering triumphs. After Chief Engineer Washington Roebling was left bedridden by a devastating case of "the bends" while working in the caissons beneath the East River, Emily became his indispensable partner. For the next eleven years, she was the face of the project—delivering engineering plans, navigating political challenges, and overseeing construction of what would become one of the world's most iconic landmarks. In recent years, The New York Times revised Emily Roebling's obituary to acknowledge what history overlooked for far too long: she built the bridge. We'll sit down with the creative team behind this inspiring new production, including book and lyricist Ray Roderick, composer Joseph Baker, and choreographer Kelli Barclay, to discuss the journey of bringing Emily's extraordinary story to the stage. Plus, enjoy three brand-new songs performed live from the musical and meet the talented cast bringing this remarkable chapter of New York history to life. Brooklyn's Bridge opens August 7 at The Space at Irondale, 85 South Oxford Street, Brooklyn, with performances Wednesday through Sunday running through August 26.
