The only tears we want this time are from laughing,” said Garman. “For this show we embraced the offbeat humor of comedic murder mystery movies like “Clue” and “Murder by Death” to create a big, broadly comedic romp. The challenge was finding a way to create an experience where the audience gets to decide who the killer is, who got killed, and how it happened,” said Garman. “Before our last show I asked the audience what they thought of doing a murder mystery cabaret and the response was enthusiastic, so here we are. The mystery focuses on a group of performers at a fictional “Bay Street Cabaret” who are both potential victims and potential murderers, each introducing themselves and their motives through hilarious scenes and comedic songs. This show is an original script by Garman, and he is the director as well. I laughed it off at first because it seemed too difficult to pull off, but the idea stuck in my head and started to take shape,” said writer Rick Garman. “One of the cast members jokingly suggested we do a murder mystery. The audience gets to help drive the plot of the show that incorporates some of the greatest Broadway hits performed live.
This time it’s a comedic murder mystery entitled “Murder at the Bay Street Cabaret.”
The Bay Street Cabaret returns this August with a “killer” new show.
