Interactive murder mystery show in which the audience acts as the voting jury in a live talent competition final to pick the Christmas Single No.1.
DBY Murder Mystery Interactive are bringing a Christmas special to the Garret Theatre at Storyhouse on Sunday 6 December, with two showings that afternoon and evening. It's called The Talent Search - You Decide!, and it's set up as the live final of a talent competition: the search for the vocal act that will take the spot of Christmas Single No.1 and become the UK's next big thing. The audience acts as the voting jury and decides which of the two finalists is crowned champion, in a show billed as heart-stopping and full of killer songs.
It's a murder mystery, so the competition is just the backdrop for a crime that unfolds around it. You're not just watching from the stalls; you're part of the jury, and your vote determines the winner. The whole thing runs for about two and a half hours, including an interval, and it's suitable for ages 12 and over. The dress code is pop-star glamorous, and they're encouraging audiences to turn up in costume, so it's a good excuse to lean into the theme if you fancy it.
Storyhouse is in the heart of Chester on Hunter Street, and the Garret Theatre is one of its performance spaces. The building opened in May 2017 as the city's £37 million theatre, cinema, restaurant and library, and it programmes home-produced work in summer and at Christmas alongside touring shows in spring and autumn. This fits into that Christmas slot, so it's one of the home-grown productions they put on around the holidays.
