Murder For Two, their award-winning murder mystery musical comedy, will be making its off-Broadway debut this summer (opening July 10th at Second Stage Uptown)! The show's world premiere took place at Chicago Shakespeare Theater in 2011 (where it was extended four times and ran for over six months). Developmental productions took place at the Adirondack Theater Festival, the Hangar Theater, and 42nd Street Moon.
Kellen and Joe's work has been showcased recently at the York Theater's 2012 NEO concert, the Adirondack Theater Festival's Second Act Cabaret, The Kennedy Center's "Broadway Today and Tomorrow" series, the Kauffman Center's "Bound for Broadway" concert, and a November 2012 New York Theatre Barn Concert. Past work includes Pirates Don't Change Diapers for TheatreWorks USA and two Christmas songs for the 2009 and 2010 Lincoln Center Annual Holiday Songbooks. They also took part in the 2010 Johnny Mercer Songwriting Project, where their song, "You're Mine Until", was selected to be part of a gala concert honoring Stephen Schwartz. They received a 2011 Joseph Jefferson Award for Best New Musical ("Murder For Two").
