A secluded mansion. A would-be murderess. The perfect crime.
Perfect Crime, the longest-running play in the history of New York theater, will play its 9,500th performance on Wednesday, July 14, 2010.
To put things into perspective, since Perfect Crime opened in 1987...
· 237 actors have been employed
· Leading lady Catherine Russell has spent over two years (16,500+ hours) onstage, and has only missed four performances since the show opened
· She has shot 89 different men and kissed 57 others
· 82,718 bullets have been fired onstage
· 4,951 prop coffee cakes (an important clue in the mystery’s plot) have been eaten
Initially opening as an Equity Showcase on April 18, 1987 for a four-week limited run at The Courtyard Playhouse, Perfect Crime has since become what New York Times critic Jason Zinoman called “an urban legend” thanks to its incredible staying power.
