Our neighbor wanted to take her elderly father to a show but didn't want the magic or action of one of the strip acts. We though Marriage Can Be Murder would be a good choice as it was a murder-mystery dinner experience that would entertain not only him but us "youngn's" as well.
The show is performed in the Canyon Club at the Four Queens downtown on Fremont Street. It is an excellent choice for a show of this sort as it is very open yet intimate enough to have a good experience while interacting and eating. The host, DeeDee, greets you at the door and shows you to your seat based on the type of ticket you purchased. When seated, you are given a choice of Steak, Fish or Chicken for your entree. A non-alcoholic drink is provided though there is a full bar in the club. A salad and cheesecake dessert round out the three-course meal.
The murder mystery is fun and interactive with almost everyone getting involved (as well as possibly being involved in the murder(s), too). Remember: the killer(s) are sitting and eating amongst you. That is about all I can give away. The entertainment from both DeeDee and other actors in the show is excellent and the pace is never let down, even during intermissions or breaks, something is going on that is part of the story! Even those who went out to use the restroom or smoke had something happen!
Ticket prices range from $49.95 for locals to $76.95 for VIP passes which have you closer to the stage (though the act roams throughout the room, so even in the back you end up getting up close and personal with the entertainment.
