Murder at the Theatre: A Musical Dance Drama

  • Family and kids
  • Comedy

Don't miss this high‑energy musical dance drama blending Bollywood and Broadway with bold costumes, lights and flair!

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.

Styled with inspiration from 60s, 70s and 80s, Bollywood 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.
