Not only were the actors incredibly talented, the storyline super interesting, and the murder both challenging yet completely possible to solve, this was a great way for my team to bond and allow a unique, fun side of ourselves to shine.”

“Just did the Murder in La La Land – THIS WAS SO FREAKING FUN!!! I am a HUGE murder mystery fan and love an opportunity to live out my best Nancy Drew fantasy! Amazing actors, great content, and seriously can not emphasize enough how much fun I had! Thank you Live Theater Productions for a delightful time and I can not wait till the next one!”

“Totally goofy and fun! Great production. We had a blast. Definitely recommend for team events!”

Mark Muecke

“Amazing performers, and a compelling mystery! Wasn’t so hard that it felt impossible but it definitely made you take notes and think hard. I had no idea going into it how a virtual murder mystery would work, but they have it all figured out – getting moved between different private chats, strict time limits to interview each suspect, and a big exciting reveal at the end. Definitely a great way to get a quick dose of interactive theatre from your living room, 90 minutes well spent!”

The mystery was complicated in a way that kept you thinking the whole time without overwhelming you and the cast was FANTASTIC! Every character was interesting and oh so entertaining. I cannot recommend this company enough!”
