A thrilling musical mystery where secrets unfold, suspects emerge, and every song could be your last!

Bollywood meets Broadway

Styled with inspiration from 1960 - 70 - 80s glamour, vintage theatre posters, sequins, velvet drapes, big hair, feathers and drama! With dramatic music, lighting cues, shimmering shadows, and timeless musical nods, this show is designed to be immersive, nostalgic, and vibrant.

Set during the dress rehearsal of a musical theatre production, Murder at the Theatre blurs the line between performance and reality. When a dramatic scene on stage takes a dark turn, the cast and crew are suddenly thrown into a real life mystery! Between rivalries, egos and failed love affairs... everyone has something to hide!

Told in 2 high energy acts, the play features musical numbers, comic confrontations, and exaggerated performances. Think retro Bollywood meets Broadway. The costumes are bold, with sequins and features. The lighting is dramatic, and every moment is extra!
