Dinner theatre with a twist
If you are looking for something different and exciting to do on a Wednesday night besides Harbour Nights, the Jargon Theatre has just the thing for you.
Every Wednesday night, the company produces two dinner theatre shows called 'Karaoke Killers', a comedy/murder mystery taking place at the Flamingo Club, also known as Legends Sportsbar, every other night. The show opened last week Wednesday.
The two shows take place at 7.30 and 10.30 p.m. The first being a dinner show priced at $55 and the second a drinks show for $35. Both shows come with a free drink.
Kristen Scott, Junior Director of Communication, said so often you hear that tourists have nothing to after Harbour Nights but this show offers something different and fun.
'Karaoke Killers' is a wacky show that takes place inside the Flamingo Club, which is owned by cheesy, cheap Andy Falooza. The show is about an important karaoke contest taking place with the best karaoke singers participating for the $10,000 prize.
Audience members get to meet each character one by one as they enter the club. Cast members include Marion Kind, the sweet and innocent waitress, Hooda Thunkit, the older waitress who's been around the block, Tip Megood, the sly bartender with an ulterior motive, Shapipi and Shadooki Indepool, the singing sisters, BG Wannabe, the so-called ladies man and DJ, Bonnie Lass and Rocky Rhodes, the singing couple, Lou Netounes, a contestant and ex-husband of Shadooki and Whiny Barfly, the persnickety judge.
The story is centred around the karaoke contest. All the contestants say they will do anything to win.
As the contest moves along with Hooda flirting with all the men and BG cracking jokes that no ones laughs at, suddenly Shadooki is shot and killed but the question is who did it?
The first part of the show is the characters setting up for the contest. Halfway through, a buffet style dinner is served. The second half is the actual karaoke contest with an audience member coming up to perform.
The cast of 'Karaoke Killers' ranges in age from 18 to 60 years old and includes Bermudians and spouses of Bermudians.
Ms Scott said: "We're mostly targeting Bermudians. We want to broaden the acting industry in Bermuda because its kind of hidden away. Once you bring up something that says auditions, people get excited."
The shows takes place every Wednesday night.
