MURDER ME, MURDER ME, MY DARLING, MY DARLING!, an original Audience Participation Murder Mystery by Dennis Wickline, is the third offering of the season at Broadway Onstage Live Theatre when it opens on Friday, October 21. Running Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm and Select Sundays at 2pm through Saturday, November 19, this unique theatrical experience proves to be both extremely entertaining and thrilling.

Select Sunday Matinees are only performed at Broadway Onstage when a prearranged group of 30 or more is scheduled to attend. Broadway Onstage Live Theatre is located at 21517 Kelly Rd. at Toepfer (8 ½ Mile Rd.) in Eastpointe. The theatre is the home of the patented TeeVeeStageTM Presentation system, which employs cameras above the audience and monitors above the stage to provide audience members with different viewing perspectives of the live stage performance. Broadway Onstage Live Theatre is also the home of Dennis Wickline Productions, Inc., which began producing Non-Equity professional live theatre on the Eastside of Detroit in February of 1980.

MURDER ME, MURDER ME, MY DARLING, MY DARLING! tells the story of Henry and Luvonne, a Honeymoon couple who decide to spend their special time in an out of the way rustic retreat called the Pinecone Resort near Traverse City, Michigan. As soon as they arrive they are accosted by an odd caretaker named Dagwood Patch and a clairvoyant eccentric by the name of Lucretia Malvenia. Lucretia entices Luvonne and Henry into a reading of their future, but soon after cuts off the encounter when she proclaims that "someone will be murdered in this room tonight, and if I do not leave, it will be me!"

An excellent cast is involved in MURDER ME, MURDER ME, MY DARLING, MY DARLING! Portraying Henry is Ken Karges. Mr. Karges has appeared in a number of professional venues throughout the Detroit Metropolitan area. He was last seen at Broadway Onstage in CORPSE! in 2008 portraying two very different twin brothers. Patrick O'Lear takes on the role of Dagwood Patch. Mr. O'Lear was last seen at Broadway Onstage in THE PROBLEM OF CELL 13 in January and February as well as last fall in THE LAST GREAT BRITISH SEX FARCE EVER! as Archibald Cavendish. CeCe Reuter Lesner takes on the role of Lucretia Malvenia, the mystic. Ms. Lesner has appeared at Broadway Onstage on numerous occasions, most recently last summer as Alberta in THE SOCIAL SECURITY MURDERS. Newcomer Lauren Fuller completes the cast as Luvonne. Broadway Onstage favorite Elizabeth Rager acts as Co-Stage Manager for the production along with Broadway Onstage Producer Dennis Wickline as Co-Producer. MURDER ME, MURDER ME, MY DARLING, MY DARLING! is under the able direction of Jane Burkey who directed last season's mystery hit SHERLOCK HOLMES IS COMING TO DINNER at Broadway Onstage.
