A Killer Night in Studio City is a genre-bending mix of comedy, music, immersive theatre, murder mystery and escape room-like puzzles. As the mystery unfolds around them, guests enjoy dinner curated by Vitello’s, while live performances of iconic 1950s music transform the evening into something part stage comedy, part murder mystery, part supper club, and part Hollywood time machine.
The year is 1958. Family and friends have been assembled for a memorial for the beautiful Sophia Vance, Hollywood's biggest rising star, who has died in a horrific and mysterious single-car accident on the Pacific Coast Highway. But we soon discover it wasn't an accident at all, and the murderer may be in this very room. The evening transforms into a murder investigation in which audience members may participate directly by questioning characters, solving puzzles, deciphering clues, and following interactions throughout the restaurant. Who would have wanted the lovely Sophia dead?
“I love out-of-the-box events, and that’s exactly what A Killer Night in Studio City is. This is a very different night of theatre for LA. It’s interesting on several different levels. I’ve been a restaurant and theatre critic for decades now, and this is a first for me!”
Karen Salkin, itsnotaboutme.tv
“"Fantastic show! Highly recommended. It's awesome to see really talented people performing live in an intimate environment 🎬 Go see this show !"”
Robert Bekian (President, Loyal Studios)
“Smoothly helmed by Noah Blake with an eye to creating a campy description of a Hollywood that never existed but was lionized in multiple films of the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, A Killer Night in Studio City achieves its goal of entertaining and amusing.”
Elaine Mura, LA Drama Critics Circle
