The Gaslight Music Hall’s Murder Mystery Dinner in Tucson: Till Death Do Us Part - A Big Fat Murder Mystery

I love the variety of shows at the Gaslight Music Hall. Whether you want to relive the 80s or you want to dance to country music, the Gaslight Music Hall has you covered. Now you can add solving murder mysteries to the list! The Gaslight Music Hall has different themed murder mystery dinners throughout the year and I’ve wanted to attend one of the shows for a while now, but the timing never worked out. I had the opportunity, though, when the Gaslight Music Hall added matinees on select Saturdays for their current murder mystery show, Till Death Do Us Part - A Big Fat Murder Mystery! The theme? Murder at an Italian wedding reception. Till Death Do Us Part reminded me of a mixture between The Godfather and My Big Fat Greek Wedding and I loved every minute of it!

Till Death Do Us Part is written by Gaslight Theatre performer Mike Yarema and he did a great job with the characters and the storyline. I expected to have a good time, but Till Death Do Us Part far exceeded my expectations, from the delicious food to the entertainment, which included singing by Wedding Guy Donny Bang (played by Charlie Hall who bears a great resemblance to Adam Sandler in the Wedding Singer). Even better? I was one of the guests who solved the murder (watch out, Nancy Drew).

You’ll definitely want to bring an appetite with you. Tickets to the show include a 3 course meal, beginning with salad. The main entree is lasagna, accompanied by breadsticks. My party and I ordered the meat lasagna, but veggie lasagna and gluten and dairy free pasta is also available. The dessert is the perfect ending to the show, and never fear - the Gaslight’s infamous popcorn also makes an appearance 🙂

One of the things I really enjoyed about the Gaslight Music Hall’s murder mystery dinner in Tucson is the intimate setting and the fact that the guests can interact with the characters if they want to (those who prefer to just observe can definitely do so). We were introduced to characters like parents of the bride Carmine and Angela Romano (played by Jesus Limon and Jacqueline Stewart), bride Gina Romano (played by Erin Thompson), Maid of Honor Irene Ricci (played by Gabi Urias), groom Antonio Manchego (played by Adam Stricker), Uncle Vito/Detective Richard Tracy (played by Randall McDonald), and the Wedding Guys Donny Bang and Daniel “Sly” Slipetsky who plays the piano.

One of the characters is killed during the wedding reception and the big question is - whodunnit? During the show, some of the guests are handed clues and the characters will stop by the tables and interact with guests. I used the opportunity to ask the characters several questions and based on my interactions with them, I was able to deduce who the culprit was. At the end of the show, guests read the clues (handed to them by the characters) outloud, and then they are able to fill out a form with their name and their guess as to the murderer. The name of the murderer is then revealed, and the winning entries are entered in a drawing. The person who wins the drawing also wins a prize. I had a great time and I wouldn’t hesitate to attend another show. We were also told that the murderer isn’t always the same person just in case a guest decides to attend another performance of Till Death Do Us Part.

Here’s more information about Till Death Do Us Part:

IS TILL DEATH DO US PART KID FRIENDLY?

I’d definitely get a babysitter so you can enjoy an afternoon or evening out without kids. Till Death Do Us Part is not scary by any means, but there is subject matter that is more suited for adults, especially the Not So New Newlywed Game which is played during the show. So you’ll want to leave the kids at home for this one.
