If you’re into true crime, drag, and a little chaos with your dinner, there’s a one-night-only event coming to Vancouver that you won’t want to miss. Murder is a Drag: Rhinestones Are Forever is a hilarious, interactive murder mystery dinner theatre experience that takes place during a wedding,and the guests? Drag queens, a detective, and maybe you.
Hosted by Vancouver Mysteries, at Delta Hotels by Marriott Vancouver Downtown Suites, second floor, this immersive show blends live performances, interactive puzzles, and campy whodunit drama into one unforgettable night. You don’t have to follow the series in order; each show is a standalone mystery.
A Wedding. A Murder. A Whole Lot of Drama.
This time, the plot thickens at a wedding reception gone very wrong. Guests will dine, sip, mingle with characters, and gather clues from drag performances to figure out whodunit. Think: sequins, sass, a suspicious bouquet toss, and a killer on the loose.
“Dinner, drag, drinks… and a detective? This isn’t your average night out.”
You can sit back and enjoy the show or get involved. Some guests may even be given roles to play. Costumes are encouraged, so if you’ve got a wedding look or a flair for drama, now’s your time to shine.
