Sleuth in Duluth

Role in the Story
"Sleuth in Duluth" serves as the opening number for the musical, in which we see Justine Case preparing to write her memoir about her work as a detective, throughout which she procrastinates as she works on chores and ponders where she should begin in her writing. She eventually settles on her first big case, which sets the precedent for the rest of the show: a theatrical murder mystery that has taken a deadly turn with the sudden murder of the director.

Lyrics
[DETECTIVE CASE]

Where to begin when you write a memoir?

Must you go all the way back?

Surely you skip a few disgraces

Cases you failed to crack?

Where to begin when you write a memoir?

Probably with your big break

A crime scene full of theatre people

They're the worst, make no mistake
