What is AMERICAN HOMICIDAL? It's a comedy murder mystery dinner show VERY LOOSELY based on a little show they like to call, American Idol.

If you have never seen American Idol, then, let’s face it, you live under a rock. But even if that’s the case, you will not be able to resist the hi-caliber talent and thigh-slapping comedy of this hilarious satire. We think it’s our best ever!

And if you HAVE seen American Idol, well then you’re in for a treat.

You know how you’re watching a show on TV and you just wish one of the people would do something REALLY outrageous … well that describes every minute of AMERICAN HOMICIDAL. We take American Idol, turn it on its head, spin it around while slapping it with live trout until it bleats for mercy.

Did we mention music? We have now! AMERICAN HOMICIDAL is not a musical, but we do feature several wave-your arms, stand-up-cheer numbers guaranteed to bring down the house! And don’t worry … we’re not going to make you come up on stage. You can leave that to the professionals – us!

When you arrive for the show, you’re greeted warmly at the door by the performers themselves, and shown to your seats. There you will find a program, clue packet and bribe money. After ordering a drink from the friendly cocktail servers, you can sit back and enjoy the first scene. Following that scene will be an intermission during which the characters will serve you salad and bread. Go ahead and chat with them! They’re very friendly, and they’d like to get to know you. Scene two follows the salad break. Pay close attention.

Something … bad … could happen during this scene. Following scene two, you will be served your entrée. During this intermission you can use your bribe money to solicit clues from the characters serving you. Scene three offers a boatload of surprises and some final clues to help you solve the mystery. During the final intermission you are served dessert, and your mysterious solutions are collected. Scene four reveals all, and prizes are awarded. Fun!
