The Altos is a Samuel French Musical/Comedy Murder Mystery that spoofs The Sopranos as well as Italian stereotypes in general in service of the plot. At the beginning of the show, the audience has been invited to the funeral of Tony Alto, who died when his car exploded outside of a motel at 2 AM. Attending are his widow Toffee Alto, his nephew and righthand man Chris, his mother Nona, his uncle Uncle Senior, his priest Father Flip, and his psychiatrist Doctor Malaise. It's quickly revealed that there's more to Tony's death than was immediately evident, and that someone at the funeral was in fact behind it.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })What follows is four acts of comedy and occasional musical numbers as the family tried to unravel the mystery with the help of the audience, who is frequently invited up to play supplemental characters.The show has a sequel, Bullets over Broadway (no relation to the musical adaptation of the Woody Allen film of that name).

Backup Twin: After an audience member is picked out as "Micky Blue Eyes", someone who informed on the family and went into Witness Protection, they're gunned down offstage and then returned as their "twin brother, Mikey Blue Eyes" and given the same seat.

Almost Dead Guy: The first hitman survives most of the song, "Come Clean" before expiring before he can reveal his information.
