An unsolved New Brunswick murder from 1922 sets the stage for Bishop Ahr 2007 alumnus Dave Seamon's sellout musical: “A Healthy Marriage: The Hall-Mills Murder”. The Hall-Mills murder case is an unsolved double-homicide that has haunted dinner table discussion in New Brunswick since 1922. An extra-marital affair ended in a tragedy and became the hottest tabloid story of the decade. Its story of power and hypocrisy, love and lust, resonates as much today as it did 100 years ago. Seamon’s new musical is intimate, funny, heartfelt, and insightful.
An instant sellout for its two staged readings, one at the State Theater of New Jersey, the response to this original production has been overwhelmingly positive.
