Moose Murders is a play by Arthur Bicknell, self-described as a mystery farce.[1] A notorious flop, it is now widely considered the standard of awfulness against which all Broadway failures are judged,[2] and its name has become synonymous with those distinctively bad Broadway plays that open and close on the same night.[3] It had its single performance (excluding its 13 previews) at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre on February 22, 1983.[4]
