A MUSICAL week that will take audiences from the fast life in jazz age New York to a murder at a birthday party is being offered at Windsor's Theatre Royal next week.

The two musicals playing will share the week - with Looking for Gatsby running from Monday, October 29 to Wednesday, October 31 and Murder for Two running from Thursday, November 1 and Saturday, November 3.

Looking for Gatsby is set in 1928 New York and begins with a woman walking into a derelict speakeasy. She says that she is looking for Gatsby and has something to tell him.

The show takes characters from F Scott Fitzgerald’s famous novel and gives them a new lease of life against the drama, the wry humour and the tragedy of the Jazz Age.

Murder for Two is described as a hi-energy musical whodunit that follows the events that follow the murder of an author at his birthday party.

Enter Officer Moscowicz, a neighbourhood cop who dreams of climbing the ranks. With the clock ticking, this is his chance to solve the crime before the real detective arrives.

Originally a massive off-Broadway hit, Murder For Two is directed by Luke Sheppard, winner of Best Musical Olivier for In The Heights.
