Take a little "Mystery Theater" with a smidge of "Phantom of the Opera" and mix in some WW2 era comedy-style serials and you've got the makings of an interesting book! I found most of the characters in the story both quirky and likeable which made for a fun read and am glad there is a sequel to this offering. Author knows a great deal about how live theater works as it shows in descriptions that are used backstage and elsewhere. Some of my favorite passages included "Big words, toots, but what the hell." "It would have to be unofficial, he finally said, and you would have to tell me every time one of those characters passed gas" and "You mean, you're charging me more for Mother's cooking? I never thought of them as square." I had some laughs along the way and enjoyed it!
