If you’re tiring of the same old dinner routine, why not head out for dinner and a show?
Let your inner detective out and test your sleuthing abilities during murder-mystery dinner theater. Below are two upcoming shows.
"Assassination Idol"
On Sunday, Aug. 27, the Palm Atlantic City will host a dinner theater event. A four-course menu will be served. Each dish will be paired with beer from Yards Brewing Co.
The menu will pair chilled Kumamoto oysters with Sons of Ben Belgian Pale Ale, applewood smoked bacon with Thomas Jefferson Tavern Ale, a choice of root beer-braised short rib or blackened chilean seabass with Extra Special English Ale and a flourless chocolate cake for dessert with General Washington’s Tavern Porter.
The storyline in the theater show centers around contestants on a talent competition show.
"By the time the contestants are ready to sing, the atmosphere has turned murderous and the contestants may 'knock ‘em dead' in more ways than one," according to the description.
