Synopsis

Four people have come to the Paradise Lounge with friends. The lounge is a sleazy, cabaret style bar. The four people don’t know each other, and they have no idea that they have all come to the lounge for the same reason – to kill the singer. During Act One, the four murderers sneak into the singer’s dressing room to rig their murder weapons. At the end of Act One, the singer leaves the stage to return to her dressing room. A scream and a crash is heard. All the murderers assume their weapon has done the job. In Act Two, they find out what really happened.
