Chapter 2 Wake the Dead

The second murder mystery in the Murder is a Drag series created by Vancouver Mysteries.

You’ve gathered to celebrate the life of a recently deceased millionaire (please wear black!) so you expect some drama: a widow, the ex wife, the spoiled son and the business manager are there as guests. Also on the guest list: a murderer! Can you solve the mystery? The suspects and the detective are drag performers (watch for clues to be revealed during their songs!). You don’t need to watch the shows in any order – each one is a standalone story.

How it Works

Some of our venues are 19+ – see individual event listings for details.

IMPORTANT: Check event dates for details about what is included in your ticket! Shows vary: there are dinner shows, brunch shows and also shows at event venues with bar service only (no kitchen and no food).

Tickets always include: a seat for the performance (general admission), puzzles to solve and the chance to win prizes.

SHOW INFO

Click on the toggles below for more info:

Unless you ticket specifically says otherwise, the doors open one hour before the show  (and so does the bar!). No entry before the official “doors open” time (sorry!). We have a DJ there playing tunes, come early and get a good seat (and maybe even a role in the show) and hang out.

Seating is first come, first serve. Smaller groups will be seated at a shared table with other groups. Sometimes we can offer reserved seating for larger groups, get in touch with us after you buy your tickets. 

Plan to arrive early if you are hoping for a role in the show (a line to say, an action, a prop). Costumes encouraged.

Our shows always start on time, so don’t be late.

The show starts at the start time listed.

Seating for the show is first come, first serve.

Murder is a Drag: a 90 minute murder mystery experience (with two intermissions).

You don’t have to participate, you can just watch the show. If you just want to watch, we recommend you don’t sit in the first row or along the aisles.

  • Eager to be a part of the fun? If you didn’t receive specific instructions or a prop from an Experience Host before the show you will have opportunities to help the detective along the way. If the detective asks a question – call out your answer!
  • There are puzzles to solve – this is a Vancouver Mysteries experience after all! During the show you will receive puzzles to solve – it will reveal  important clues to the mystery.
  • This is a collaborative and social experience – you may be seated with other people. You can choose to solve the mystery together as a team or on your own, it’s up to you.
  • You will be seated during this experience – guests will be seated and the mystery will unfold around you. There is a stage area but the cast will also move around the room.
  • The bar is open during the show. You can order during the show and there are also two intermissions.
  • Performances – the cast is entirely made up of drag performers from our Murder is a Drag Ensemble – the three suspects and the detective in this murder mystery are drag performers and they will also perform songs.
  • Prizes! You can vote for who you think is the murderer! A winner will be drawn from the correct answers.
Meet the cast and have your photos taken with them after the show – don’t be shy, come on up and say hi!

Tipping – If you’d like to show your extra appreciation for the cast and/or crew, tips are always welcome. The performers accept cash or card but you can also etransfer info@vancouvermysteries and we’ll pass it on to them (put “gratuity” in the memo).

THE MURDER IS A DRAG SERIES

We have four chapters of Murder is a Drag. Each chapter takes place in a different setting with a different murder victim and 3 different suspects. These original murder mystery shows are Vancouver Mysteries productions based on scripts written  by Tanya Bennett, the owner of Vancouver Mysteries, and are not available anywhere else at this time. You don’t need to see the shows in any particular order – each chapter in the series is a separate murder mystery with a new story and new suspects.
