Marriage Can Be Murder

3/15/2016

Fun from the moment you are greeted at the box office. A nice intimate showroom. Expect to part of the show. You will love Mimi the whacky hostess of the show and main character!
Four choices of a meal...all were good...the show was great.
Want to laugh...go see it...be in it!

An incredibly racist experience that I'm sad I subjected my family to.  Went to it with high hopes on Friday night upon arriving in Vegas and ended up simply being prodded as the token Asians in the room.  A barrage of insults regarding an inability to speak English and constant marginalization of a people was unleashed, without a regard to even my poor grandmother that ended up coming to the show with us.

From the very beginning, my mother decided to stand up and commemorate our trip (which happens on a very infrequent basis as some family hails from other parts of the state) with photos.  She momentarily stood in the way of a group that was being escorted to their seats and DD very audibly said "they're simply reinforcing stereotypes...," referring to my mother who was standing up and taking a photo of us all.

From there, the racism did not end as they picked on the fact that we were Asian time and time again.  An incredibly uncomfortable experience -- I'd recommend thinking twice about bringing your family here.

I had bookmarked this page two months ago and was really excited to see it. Purchasing tickets was easy. Go up the escalator to the showroom box office.
Get in line about 30-40 minutes before doors open. Mind the signs because if you are in the wrong line, you will be ridiculed!  (The show started outside while we were waiting. Too funny!)

Listen closely to what the menu options are and how the food is prepared.  They won't repeat it without making fun of you for your lack of attention or being hard of hearing. (The meal consists of a tossed salad, which awaits you at the table, the main course of beef, chicken or pasta, and a dessert of, I believe it was ice cream with chocolate sauce.)

If you purchased a VIP or RIP package, you will have liquor drink ticket(s). Make sure to use them, otherwise you lose out on a drink you paid for! Give it to the alchy sitting next to or across from you!

The show continues as people are ushered into the showroom, so look alive and beware, as you may be called upon at any given time.  

During intermission, pee break, as they referred to it as, don't forget to purchase your photo, taken upon entry, for $10.  Exact $ is appreciated.

I cannot tell anything about the show, but I can say that mom and I thoroughly had a great time and recommend it to all who visit Vegas.  Funny and whimsy. Better with alcohol!

My new wife and I had a great time getting in the show and trying to solve the mystery. It was a lot of fun! Well thought out, well produce, well executed!

Although our experience was not worthy of five stars, this might be worth your time, even if you are in Vegas for only a few days . . . as long as you don't go with your significant other.

We saw the show last evening. My sweetie opted for the VIP tickets, which include the show, dinner, one alcoholic beverage and a T-shirt. Also included was priority seating, which helped us speed right past the line which had already formed about 15 minutes before seating time.

The actors were convincing half the time and campy the other half. The plot was well played out and peppered with double entendre as well as direct adult humor. My sixteen-year-old went with us and of course, enjoyed every joke. He wasn't sure he'd like it, but ended up being very glad that he tagged along. Audience participation helped keep our attention and the quick-witted actors used the show goers' comments as fodder for their one liners.

The food was simple but not horrible; it was served in three courses, which allowed some time to enjoy the food before, during and at the end of the show.

Sounds good . . . unless you are in attendance with a good-looking man. The thing that kept it from earning four stars was the fact that the desperate, thirsty hostess came over and sat on my fiance's lap when I went to the bathroom. Not everything in Vegas warrants sleazy behavior, and not every man welcomes a lap dance. Thank goodness he had the decorum to politely tell her that he was engaged. As though this was not enough, she also threw herself at him as we were leaving, trolloping over to hug him even though we passed her line by, and gave a parting kick by making a comment about competing with me.

If you have a free night, join the fun; if your date is nice-looking, though, watch out for decidedly desperate, whorish behavior from Ms. Mimi. Should you chance it, definitely don't sit him at the end of the table.

Marriage Can be Murder is a hilarious show. The actors are extremely entertaining. The show contains adult humor and I would not recommend it for children. Even if you don't try to solve the crime you will be highly entertained. The actors and the show change every few months. On this night Mimi was the star. She will keep you laughing throughout the performance. Seating is at long tables with people on both sides. Try to sit facing the stage so you don't have to twist your neck to see the action.

The food is OK, considering it is all prepared at once. My chicken, vegetables and potatoes were property cooked and  hot at the time of delivery. Choice of entrees were tri-tip steak, chicken breast or pasta along with a medley of vegetables, roasted potatoes, garden salad and cheese cake dessert.

I recommend using the D Hotel valet parking as it is the most convenient. If you arrive early go to the Vue bar on the second floor near the theater. It is not as loud as the other bars and you can take your drink outside on the balcony overlooking the Fremont experience. This is a great location to watch the adventurous people on the zip line.

Overall the food and entertainment is a good value and a solid 4 stars.

This show was a lot more fun than I thought it was going to be!  If you're looking to laugh, this is a great show for you.  Be prepared for audience participation!

Hint: Check out half-price ticket booths for discounted tickets
Another Hint: You don't have to show up at 515 like the lady at the booth told us, you just have to get there by 545 (use your time for other things like drinking or gambling instead of standing in a boring line doing nothing).

Anyhow - the show was really funny and not boring at all.  The host was great - she really worked the crowd and kept us entertained the entire time.

The food leaves a little to be desired.  Our options were the beef (my husbands choice), chicken (my choice) and pasta.  The portions are pretty small so you might want a snack before hand (or afterwards).  You also start with rolls and salad (iceberg lettuce mix) and a roll.

Seating: We didn't opt for the VIP which has closer seating and had no trouble at all seeing the show.  The VIP does come with a T-Shirt and a drink coupon which we didn't know at the time but that's more the fault of the lady at the half priced ticket booth.

They do have a bar - drinks are around $7 each.

Also - At the beginning of the show, the person who welcomed us asked us not to get up to use the restrooms... don't fear.  There are a couple times when you need to get out of your seat and an intermission so you have a couple great options to use the facilities.

My boyfriend and I have never tried dinner theater before this, but were always interested in trying one out, so we gave it a shot. Mimi is the absolute star of the show, and just fantastic. The food was typical salad, choices of meat dishes or vegetarian pasta, and then ice cream, so nothing fancy or over the top, but definitely enough to fill you up. The whole act was hilarious and kept us laughing. The servers were great, very polite, and prompt. Give this place a try!

We've been to many shows in Las Vegas and I have to say this show was one of the best.  

We paid for two other couples from Texas and we all enjoyed it.

The food was better than I expected which is a plus for them. Our group had one person for at least one if the entree's.  I especially enjoyed the checked.  The dessert was blah but over all we had a great time!

The show is a little low budget but similar to most interactive murder mysteries. I've only been to one that truly felt like a real situation. Most are silly like this one. If you can get yourself into the mood for silly fun you can enjoy this. The laughs are corny but they are laughs. And since dinner is included the price is fair.

Inside the D Hotel in downtown Las Vegas. I used the valet parking & entered the showroom where I was instantly entertained.

If I were to explain my whole experience I would be typing forever!!

The food was eh.. not the greatest.. but the atmosphere, the energy and the entertainment was worth every dollar.

Solving a mystery.. interactive host.. I loved it.

4 stars for entertainment. If the food was better they definitely would've gotten 5 stars from me.

Did I mention there's a bar?? Haha

This show was just down right funny!!!  I would see it again!!
Characters are interactive with each table so no one feels left out.  Adult based humor... & noisy...not advised for small kiddos.  
The food was good, I had the tri-hip steak and it was great!
A great place for friends or family to get away from outrageously over prices shows on the strip!

AWESOME SHOW!!!! Super funny and entertaining! Audience interaction is great.  We had an awesome audience member that looked like Carlton, fresh prince that was hilarious!! LOVED DD, and the cop his shorts were my favorite! All the actors did amazing. I highly recommend this! I would definitely pay to see this show again. Best show I've seen in a long time. Definitely worth the money!

Very very funny, the hosts are incredible and have an incredible energy.  I was laughing the whole time.  Mimi and the police officer made me laugh so much, their simple demeanor even if they don't say anything makes me laugh.

The murder mystery portion is difficult to follow just because the hosts are so funny it's almost distracting.  But honestly, just go to have a good time.  Don't go in there looking for a CSI experience.

Like: Great entertainment! Interactive dinner-show for a great price. There's a discount code for 'residents'. I forgot what the code is, but I'm sure you can google it.
It's definitely something different than your expensive Vegas shows on the strip. MCs are super witty. Facebook interactive. They take photos too, which I think is fun to see what shots they might've gotten of you.

Dislike: I got the chicken, and I did not like it at all. Food quality is bad. Get the tri tip-probably the best option from what my fiance got. I got the chicken and didn't like it at all. It's away from the strip so a taxi ride will take time and money. Location is in the older and sketchy side of town. DO NOT walk there from the strip-taxi driver said we would get mugged for sure.

Was ok.  We were running late so we missed a little bit of fluff such as pics etc they take to sell you post show.  I'd skip upgrade or participation, VIP stuff --- you can participate if you are outgoing like I am.  Felt rushed to eat and try to participate at same time.  It was funny but not hysterical.  I paid $54 per ticket at box office w coupon.  That was best price I could find.  You take notes and they give a prize for who figures it out at the end.  Other prize was a supporting actor, little gold plastic one- I guess one person who paid vip gets.  I ordered pasta and I liked it, husband ordered beef and he said it was ok.  They give you a scoop of ice cream for desert. About 1.5 hr total.  Some actors obvious in the group but several I had no clue they were part of show until they died!

It was not what I expected. I thought it would be a bona fide dinner theater, which is what they bill it as, but it is far, far from being "theater." It is, in fact, a kitchy, only marginally funny, only marginally entertaining, half rate comedy show where they rely almost solely on the audience for laughs instead of employing truly worthwhile comedians. Some of the jokes were funny, but most weren't laugh-worthy, and a lot of them were outright vulgar. Further, the food was edible, but that's the best thing I can say about it. I had the chicken marsala. The salad was basically a bunch of iceberg lettuce, one quarter of a tomato, one slice of cucumber, and some shredded carrot with either Italian or ranch dressing, and parts of the lettuce was old, wilted, and browning because it was old. The chicken was very dry; the sauce had the taste and texture of something that was powdered you would add water to; the vegetables were cooked well, if rather bland; and the potatoes were reminiscent of what you would get in a high school cafeteria. Dessert consisted of what tasted like a bad, store bought, generic ice cream with mini chocolate chips and a slight drizzle of chocolate "sauce."

Over all, this was not a great experience considering the other theater options, comedy clubs, and shows you can find in Vegas. This was not a good value. Spend your money somewhere else. Cirque was about the same amount of money and way, way more entertaining, and I could've gotten a hot dog on the strip that was just as good for dinner.

Not what I expected! Having watched countless hours of Downton Abbey, Midsomer Murders, Sherlock Holmes and various British murder shows I had not pictured a dinner murder mystery theatre to be like this! It was my first experience and it was very Vegas Style'....I usually like to pretend I'm from England and buy a box of Walkers Shortbread Cookies and sip tea while watching murder mysteries. So I fully expected the actors to come out fully clothed in 1800's style clothing. Lol. I should've known better! It's Vegas! My husband and I had a lot of fun and the actors were great. The food was very poor (according to us...because usually we eat Vegan or Raw food). So that's just our perspective! Maybe next time I'll go to New York to try a dinner murder mystery show. I want something old fashioned for my sensibilities. Lmfao.
