Yes. Unlike conventional Murder Mysteries, this production is fully scripted and includes live musical numbers. While there is always an interactive element to all of our shows, we don’t rely on audience interaction to shape the show.
All ages are welcome, but at your own discretion. The shows are written for an adult audience and we do not offer discounted tickets for children.
Dinner begins after Act 1 (approximately 7:00 p.m.). As your dessert is served in Act 2, a murder is committed! At the end of Act 2, the characters engage the audience to plead their innocence as the audience is invited to determine the perpetrator of the crime, voting by secret ballot. One of the correct respondents is randomly drawn to win a prize.
The evening concludes with the unveiling of the villain and announcement of the random draw winner.
Doors open at 6:00. The show begins at 6:30 pm and the evening wraps up around 8:30 pm. The actual performance is three acts totaling 50 minutes.
Guests are seated at tables of 8 and the tables are assigned. The seats at those tables are not assigned, so if you arrive later, you will likely have to turn in your chair to view the show. If you are purchasing tickets separate from the rest of your party, please advise us at (519) 846-5455 ext. 288 before the date of the show so we can seat you together.
Please advise us at (519) 846-5455 ext. 288 (preferably 10+ days before the date of the show) if you have a food allergy/intolerance. If you are buying for a group, please confirm allergies/intolerances with your guests and advise us.
Our buffet dinner is designed to include an entree option suitable for many moderate allergies and intolerances. If the listed substitute is not a suitable option, we will do our best to present another option within the confines of our dinner format. If you have severe allergies/intolerances, you may also opt to bring your own meal with you, or eat beforehand. Please note that under these circumstances, we cannot offer a discounted ticket price.
Casual! Or a little dressy! Whatever you like is fine with us. (Jeans are welcome. Or, be a real hit and dress according to the theme of the show — we LOVE that, and you could win 2 tickets to the next show!)
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at bookings@grandriverraceway.com or (519) 846-5455 ext. 247.
