, Pickwick & Frolic‘s Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre, has been described as “an interactive evening of crime solving, food and entertainment.” In Pickwick & Frolic’s first foray into the murder mystery theatre concept, the Frolic Cabaret transforms into the Oasis Niteclub where a murder has been committed. Throughout the evening, guests are given clues to the mystery as they meet the wacky cast of characters involved.
Guests also do their own “sleuthing” to resolve the crime as they enjoy a complete dinner package: salad, choice of entrees, dessert and non-alcoholic beverages. Those who correctly solve the mystery are eligible to win prizes.
The complete running time for the show is about two hours including intermission and it all makes for a wonderful evening of food, fun, laughter and music.
Although Stage Struck has closed for the holiday season, a new mystery, The Red Carpet Murders, opens in February 2009. Stay tuned for this new show. And until then, The Martini Show Dinner Spectacular returns to the Frolic Cabaret with a special holiday edition. Cleveland’s answer to the Rat Pack is back providing an evening of great fun, lot of humor, and most importantly, the music of Sinatra’s Vegas!
Pickwick & Frolic’s Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre shows and The Martini Show are written and directed by Michael Rogaliner with music direction by John DiSanto. Pickwick & Frolic is a restaurant/comedy club/upscale martini bar is located at 2035 East 4th Street in downtown Cleveland. –CM
