Murder and a Meal Dinner Theatre

Ummm, I had a good time, but no one I was with liked it. It was kind of HS drama Club acting ability, script was not the best, lots of overacting and an overabundance of sexual innuendo. I tried to get into it and take it for what it was, so I had a good time. There was a table nearby, with some drinking folks, that had a really gooood time.
Had the vegetarian meal. Rotini with spinach and artichoke. Not bad. Everyone else had chicken, mashed potatoes, zucchini. Bread was on table. Salad came out first. Skip dessert. It was a dry spongy brownie and iced cookie. Cookie was good, though.
Ending was kind of anticlimactic. I guess I was expecting more clues. I could deal with the acting such as it was. We saw Clue. Mr. Green cracked me up; I wish I took the flyer with the actors’ names so I could write to him individually. He made me laugh. Think «just jack», Will and Grace fans. Mr. Bodee guy was funny, too. Others weren’t bad, just not the highlights for me.
As for the «who did it»… It was really obvious so I was hoping for a twist at the end. There was none. I plan to go again to see a different rendition of the same show. Also would like to see a different production.
All in all, I had a great time. I could see why the people I was with didn’t, but you have to put some effort in, too, to participate and have fun. It was a different thing to do for a Saturday night.
Main office, if you read the review, please pass on kudos to Mr. Green for making me laugh.

Must be a fluke but tonight’s show was lame and the food made me feel like I was flying coach.
Cannot recommend this event for anyone except the in laws.

My boyfriend and I went to see the «Get a Clue or Die» for our three year anniversary after finding a good Groupon deal for the show. Since the Groupon said the show started at 7:00 pm we ended up getting there 30 minutes early and having to hangout at the lounge until 7:00 since 7:00 is actually when they open the doors for seating. At least there was bar service so we were able to get some drinks while waiting.
Once we got into the theatre, we were given new identities, Bea Keeper and Douglas Furr, along with other guests with names such as Tera Dactyl and X. Benedict. The show itself was funny and interactive. My boyfriend and I were both chosen by cast members to participate in a dance off, sadly, neither of our dance teams won.
The food is served by the cast and they also collect the empty plates, so the main part of the show isn’t going on while you eat, although the cast members do come around to the tables and talk to everyone. The food could have been better in my opinion but the show itself was great. Also, the drinks you can buy at the bar inside theatre are extremely over priced. Before the show, I bought a margarita for $ 4.50 at the bar, during the show they charged me $ 10.00 for a margarita that was served in a smaller glass.
Overall, the show was a ⁵⁄₅ and but the food and drinks is at most a ²⁄₅. My bf and I ended up getting In-​and-​Out down the road after the show.

Oct 24 my family from all over the country came to celebrate my graduation. We had a blast with the «Get a Clue or Die Trying» cast. The more you involve yourself with the fun and nteractive activities the better the experience. you may want to eat before you go. The food is OK, but not enough for real hunger satisfaction. Overall a fun way to share a meal with good company.

I attended Friday night spent $ 45 for entertainment and a meal the meal was a frozen chicken Kiev on a big pile of rice that had two small slices of cooked zucchini a brownie bite with a frosted sugar cookie for dessert totally not what I expected the chicken Kiev had spinach in it instead of ham and Swiss cheese certainly wasn’t made by a chef was the worst meal I’ve had in ages Entertainment was difficult to follow appeared to be very disorganized

What a wonderful valentine’s gift! The humor and language were a good mix. I love hi ow the butler roamed the audiance having fun with the guest. We also really enjoyed how they would stop midstream and laugh at themselves. Actors really got into their chacraters. The ending was quit the twist! The food was good!

We love murder mystery dinner theater and this was the 7^th one we’ve attended spanning 2 states and several companies. This one, unfortunately, is at the bottom of the list. The food was fine, although the brownie with a dollop of whip cream was the poorest desert of all of them and they did not offer coffee as the others did. The venue, at Orange Tree Resort was a poor choice of rooms, because for the first time during one of these shows, I was distracted by the TV screens at the bar that were clearly visible through the trellis like divider above the main action. I watched kitchen help constantly scurrying back and forth at the far end of the room. I thought they were actors at first. (They were not serving our food… they were working somewhere else in the hotel.) Then there was a large party next door that constantly played music which could be heard and at
times drowned out the dialogue. Never mind the laughing children from the party running in the courtyard seen through the windows. The director Matt Clarke was great as he warmed up the crowd and played a character as wonderfully animated and captivating as a professional actor should. Layla Amerson was a hoot as the main character and quite engaging with audience involvement and dramatic flair. She had a sense of great comedic timing. The others could have been salesmen or employees handed a script right before the show. They didn’t project. The words were not enunciated. They seemed uncomfortable. They did not draw the audience in or captivate them. Apparently people who have never been to one of these didn’t have a clue (ha-​ha) or had a little too much alcohol, because there were titters and moments of laughter. I would rate it a D on a A-​F scale. To end the evening the fire alarm went off as desert was being served and the actors motioned for us to evacuate the room. We kept on going to our car. I don’t feel good about posting this because I love theater and the arts, but people, get your act together. You’re giving murder mystery dinner theater a bad name for the newbies.

Attended ‘Get a Clue. .. Or Die’ day after Christmas with a group of six. It was a pretty good experience. As other reviewers have said, you shouldn’t expect gourmet food to be served. It was decent ~ salad with basalmic dressing, bread (I especially enjoyed) breaded chicken lightly stuffed with spinach, I think, over a bed of rice and slices of zucchini. Got a second serving of bread which I really liked since entrée definitely didn’t fill any of us up. Dessert was a brownie with small dollop of whipped cream and dusted with cinnamon. Salad wasn’t served until 8:00pm with a 7:30 start time, so you may want to eat something small before you go. The actors are the servers as well and they did a fine job. The show/​entertainment was based on the Hasbro Clue board game. While they are not Broadway actors by any means, you can tell the love what they do. Most stayed in character from beginning to end and with some improv. A few times lines seemed awkward or jumbled. It was comical and entertaining and fun to figure out who dunnit at the end. Overall an enjoyable evening.
P. S. One negative would be the audio wasn’t loud enough. Some sound effects and music were hard to hear.

Okay! We’ve been to two shows now and I think it’s time I leave some feedback.
Here’s how it is:
This isn’t broadway. It is dinner and an interactive show — a murder mystery where you are trying to figure out who done it. The other reviews talking about bad service and what not don’t make sense. This isn’t a restaurant, it’s a performance. The actors actually serve you a three course dinner throughout the show, it’s very cool. You get to interact with them and they are all hilarious. Be ready to laugh.
Again, don’t expect to come here and see a broadway show. It’s an intimate setting and the actors improv a lot, which is pretty awesome and entertaining. The shows that we’ve seen were worth the money and fun! It’s different than anything else you can do around here.
We’ve seen Murder More or Less– which one of the owners wrote himself and Get a Clue or Die. We loved Murder More or Less– it was hilarious– see this one first! Get a Clue or Die was good too!
I recommend you check it out for yourself. If you appreciate having a good time while seeing a show, laughing and enjoying a meal, you will like it! Good for a group of friends or a date night!

This was a fun night out! My daughter won tickets last time she went and so she brought me along for the next trip! She show was very entertaining, funny, and witty. The actors clearly enjoy themselves and have fun with it. The content was on the «adult side» which was really funny and made it even better. The food, eh. It really wasn’t bad but it wasn’t great. I would be nice if the food was a little better quality, would really make it worth it and get you back more often. I would go back for a different show for sure, they seem to have 3 right now that they have upcoming performances of and they talked about some new ones that will be coming in the next year or so. Fun night out for a date, girls night, etc.

Attended the «Get a Clue» show at Orange Tree Resort.
Food, service and acting were all extremely disappointing.
Food: main «chicken» dish was a small, breaded, obviously frozen-​and-​heated-​up chicken breast. When my mother cut into it oil spurted out all over the table and into her wine glass. I assume it was because of the cheese-​like substance inside the chicken breast. It came with maybe ½ cup of dry, cubed potatoes and three tiny paper-​thin strips of what appeared to be zucchini. Dessert was store-​bought brownies drizzled with caramel in an attempt to «dress them up».
Service: the cast members are the servers and are sub-​par at best. The salad comes with canned mandarin oranges atop and one cast member tipped my plate while she was delivering my salad and the juice spilled all over my pants. When the bread basket was brought to our table there was not enough to go around. I explained to a cast member that some of us didn’t get bread and asked if she would please bring some more to our table. She never did.
Acting: flubbed lines, lousy script, failed attempts at humor and innuendo. Just… no.

worst service ever.
not worth the money.

Get a Clue
Interesting interaction on the Hasbro Clue game turned into a play. Food was cool and eatable. It was a fun time and I would not mind going again.

6 of us went and saw Clue it was a fun night. Went to one about 10yrs ago and was not impressed. So going to Murder and a Meal I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed it. Food was «fine» but I did enjoy the «murder». Loved Mrs White she was always in character.

Fun experience! The food could have been better but the actors were great! Actors kept the crowd engaged and incorporated them in the show! We even received a free bottle of champagne near the end of dinner!

What a cute show! Had a great time here with the bf! They were very welcoming and made sure we were comfortable and enjoyed the dinner, which was quite good. We laughed a lot and made some new friends at our table. These guys work really hard and it shows. Since theater is so undermined here in the valley, something like this is a rare treat. We will definitely be back! :)

Don’t go here — very disappointing. Food so-​so and very late — didn’t get entre till almost 9pm. Acting ok but hard to understand and figure out what was going on.
People left early. Would not recommend or go back.
