Monk and Sharona go to the theater together to see the performance of Sharona's sister Gail. During the show, Gail stabs she fellow actor Hal Duncan with a real knife, instead of the retractable one, and kills him in front of three hundred people. However, Gail claims that she used the retractable knife. Meanwhile, Sharona's mother Cheryl Fleming arrives in San Francisco to stay with Sharona, and Monk promises to investigate the case with Sharona. Soon they suspect of Gail's understudy Jenna Ryan, and Monk investigates her at a speed dating service. But she has a solid alibi and now is the star of the play. When Monk is invited to be Hal's replacement for two shows, he finds what happened in the tragic night.
"Mr. Monk Goes to the Theater" is a silly episode of this series. The awful title song is a terrible beginning for this season, and this episode is more comedy than a crime. How is possible that a retractable knife is fixed in the chest of the actor in a live show in one important question. Monk's stupidities are excessive and are becoming boring, instead of funny. Despite the murders, it is necessary to see this series as a comedy. Looking forward to seeing if this series improves. My vote is seven.
