The curtain rises on June 7, 8, 9 & 10 at Gaudi Restaurant- 4 Thao Dien, District 2, Ho Chi Minh City. Proceeds from the dinner theatre event will benefit Helping Hand Saigon.

What can you expect from an audience participation murder mystery? Fun the minute you walk through the door! Doors open at 7 PM, when you’ll get a chance to mingle with Lucy, Ricky, and other cast members as they drop hints about themselves and the show and give you a chance to ask questions. At 7:30, you’ll enjoy a delicious 3 course dinner, while the cast keeps a low profile. The main show starts after dinner, at around 8:15.

The action takes place in Lucy and Ricky’s living room; then switches to Ricky’s club, the Tropicabana. You’ll hear Ricky sing some Latin favorites, see the Cabana girls dance, join in a conga line, and take mambo lessons. Besides Lucy, Ricky, Fred, and Ethel, you’ll meet movie mogul heiress Celia B. DeMilo; Big Mama, a notorious gangster; and Ricky’s cousin Rosita, an illegal alien. Will Ricky sign a movie contract? Is Celia who she claims to be? Will Lucy and Ethel ruin Ricky’s big chance with another harebrained scheme to get into show business? What’s the escaped convict Big Mama doing at Ricky’s club? How do the Cabana girls keep those fruit baskets on their heads? And who committed the murder? The murder? That’s right—the murder! Someone will be ruthlessly murdered at the end of the show, and it’s up to you to solve the crime! Prizes will be awarded to the first people to correctly guess both the murderer and the motive.

The Saigon Players is a non-profit, community theater group committed to uphold the arts while giving to charity!
