About the Show

A 1920s-style whodunit thriller set against the backdrop of two competing artistic movements.

A Dadaist musical comedy set in 1924 New York City and in a Paris dreamscape, the show follows three people trying to solve the disappearance and possible murder of DaDa Love, an artist at the center of the Dada movement. The trio embarks on a mad, dreamlike investigation of truth sparked by artistic and sexual jealousy.

Critic Reviews (2)

What is a mystery inside a riddle wrapped in an enigma? A Winston Churchill question from 1939 aptly fits a play with music set in 1924 that toys at being a murder mystery. As a play with music "Who Murdered Love?" doesn't work. As a play without music, it doesn't work as well. It is Dadaism with Surrealist overtones, and Surrealism with Dadaist overtones, if anyone in the audience knows what Dada or Surreal means.
