The Show Must Go On is a darkly comedic murder mystery anthology series. Each season would take place in the days leading up to a big, live, televised event and would tackle a new murder with a refreshed cast.

Season 1 is set behind the scenes during the making of a fictitious version of Lloyd Webber's worldwide mega-hit: The Phantom of The Opera Live!
