| - Murder Mystery Review (previously reviewed under Beauregard's):
My date and I had discount tickets to Beauregard's Murder Mystery performance. For the price (even after the discount) I expected it to be much more entertaining than it was. This was my first time to Beauregard's, but not my first time to a dinner theater-type performance. The food: We were served a house salad (no choice of dressing) choice of: prime rib, chicken pasta, or baked ziti. My date and I had the prime rib and baked ziti, which wasn't that great (for $29 a plate) also, it was cold by the time it was served. Others at our table had the chicken pasta, which looked better than our entree choices. A compliment: the beer and wine prices were reasonable at 3.95 a glass for wine.
The show: I had been to one of these shows once before, and it was excellent, therefore I have something to compare it to. In comparison, the murder mystery show was amateurish. It is very much an "improv group." It looked as if maybe they had trouble filling some spots, and rounded up some High School theater students.
The restaurant was packed, and for the price paid, I expected more. More could have been done with the set/costumes, audience etc. Definitely do not pay full price for this show, I'm sure there are other dinner shows out there.
