In addition to bringing first-class, live entertainment to the region for the last 15 years, the Way Off Broadway Dinner Theatre has also become known for its original interactive murder mysteries. Everyone wants to be the next Sherlock Holmes or Gil Grissom from CSI, and at Way Off Broadway, they have the chance to become a part of the evening's activities when the audience is asked to help solve the case.
The first of two special interactive murder mystery events, A Fantasy Fairytale Murder Mystery, comes to WOB for two performances only on July 29th and August 5th.
Growing up, everyone heard the stories of Snow White, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, and countless others. But what if the stories we were all told as children isn't the whole truth? There is a lot more that goes on in the Land of Fairytales then any of us really knows about. Here's your chance to meet the real fairytale characters from your childhood and see what they are like outside of the storybooks. Audiences' won't believe their eyes. And when one of the most well known figures in storybook history comes to their "The End," it will be up to the audience to solve the case. This is definitely a show NOT for the whole family.
"The Box Office is always receiving phone calls asking if we will be doing another murder mystery involving the audience" says Bill Kiska, Way Off Broadway's Executive Producer and CEO. "Some of the most popular shows that have appeared at Way Off Broadway over the theatre's history have been interactive murder mysteries."
Bringing the famed storybook characters to life for these two special murderous evenings of fun are Christie L. Kiska as Cinderella, Trey T. Kiska as the Big Bad Wolfe, Amy Chase Martin as the Evil Queen, Sarah Melinda as Snow White, Shawn Nakia as Prince Charming, J. Stocksdale as the Fairy Godmother, Keith Purtee as The Narrator, and Taylor Whidden as Little Red Riding Hood.
The creative "masterminds" behind A Fantasy Fairytale Murder Mystery are Justin M. Kiska, the theatre's President & Managing Director, and Ann Davis.
Doors will open each evening at 6:30 p.m. Tickets cost $35 per person.
A Fantasy Fairytale Murder Mystery is the first of two special mystery events coming to Way Off Broadway this season. It will be followed later this fall by The Class Reunion Caper, which will be presented October 14th and 21st.
Way Off Broadway is offering a special discounted ticket price for those who purchase tickets to both mystery events at the same time.
