Set in the Golden Age of Hollywood -- when stars of the silver screen were still glamorous and travel was still luxurious -- Sharon Michaels' Sidetracked presents a timeless whodunit on stage at the Macha Theatre. Directed by Ray A. Rochelle, Sidetracked finds five passengers waiting to board the train at L.A.'s Union Station -- and each of them has a motive for the murder that's just been discovered. It's a gripping dramedy that pays homage to an earlier era while still feeling fresh and modern, with nods to film noir, Bogart and Bergman, and Fred and Ginger, too.

Egging the celluloid luminaries on is reigning gossip queen Hedda Hopper, publishing and profiting from her notes on Davis' notorious one-liners and Crawford's sly maneuvering.

Campy, but not as smooth as I would have expected from such experienced actors. The plot was pretty thin, and the dialog provided only a few chuckles. Better to stay home and watch an old Thin Man movie in our opinion.

It really needs a total work over - don't know what the writer had in mind, but whatever it was, it was awful! As so many others who attended this play said, it would have been better to stay home & catch a good movie on the TV.

Also, how could there be so much liquor offerings throughout the entire play, & not one iota of money exchange? Am I the only one who found this to be odd? Even in that era, at Union Station, alcoholic drinks were not free.

The bartender flubbed-up so many lines, it got to be irritating after a while. I also noticed several of the other actors had a hard time maintaining their accent &/or "twang." Very disappointing, especially when the audience couldn't find anything funny enough to laugh about.

This is an old-fashioned, 1940's style mystery, wonderfully acted and very entertaining.
