The show was a lot of fun and they did a great job of engaging audience members. A couple of things that would help goldstar members is to know that the theatre really wants you to call before the day of the show to provide your dinner menu choices...and that it lasts a little more than 3 hours.

Great cast who obviously enjoy working with each other. That makes it very nice for the audience. The ad-libs were hysterical and they kept cracking each other up! It was delightful!

I thought the cast was very energetic, professional and likeable. The show itself was entertaining and funny. The plot meanders a little bit and was may 30-45 minutes too long, but it works in a map-cap, "kitchey" and corny way. I've already recommended the show to friends.

This new mystery comedy offers as many laughs, as much suspicion, and of course, plenty of audience participation! Set in a 20’s speakeasy with such notorious gangster era characters as Ignacious “Sonny” Shoeleone, the bright and handsome heir apparent to the family empire, unless his siblings have their way; Frankie ‘Two Times” O’Malley – a thug who repeats everything twice, maybe even murder?; and Lotta “Boom-Boom” Kreskin, a chanteuse who predicts the future, which doesn’t look bright for several characters in this zany plot filled with gangsters, games and dames!
