About the Show
This is a special holiday edition of our original Murder is a Drag show Dinner Date With Death (same suspects and murderer but with a holiday spin. Chapter 1: Dinner Date With Death is our first show in the Murder is a Drag series and has been performed to over a dozen sold out audiences since its debut in 2024. For this special holiday edition, it’s Tony Bennetti’s annual holiday party and someone has a big surprise for him (is it his murder?!).
Each of the three chapters in the Murder is a Drag series is a standalone show with new suspects and a new murderer. Chapter One: Dinner Date With Death is set at Tony’s Place, a show lounge in East Van. Chapter Two: Wake the Dead is set at the funeral of a local millionaire Shawn Essy. Chapter Three: Rhinestones are Forever is set at a wedding.
Murder is a Drag shows are always guaranteed to be campy, fun and fast-paced with a runtime of 90 minutes with two intermissions. Plan to get there early if you hope to be one of the lucky guests who will be offered a part in the show (doors will not open before 7PM). Guests can also choose to sit back and just watch while all of the drama unfolds around them, participation is always optional. Of course, since this is a Vancouver Mysteries experience, there are puzzles for guests to solve and clues to collect. Every guest also has an opportunity to guess the identity of the killer and each show ends with prizes and a meet and greet with the cast.
The fun begins when the doors open at 7PM - the bar will be open and a DJ will be there to set the mood with mysterious tunes. Experience Hosts will also be there to greet you and answer any questions
