The long-running TV series, Seriously Dancing, is now into its 14th contest. Hailed as bringing ballroom dancing back into the average viewer’s dining room, Seriously Dancing, hosted by the popular presenter Bruce Falseteeth, has been a surprising hit and the judges themselves have become household names. The show sees celebrities competing with each other for the Glitterball Trophy, dancing themselves silly with professional partners in an attempt to wow the judges.
However, this evening the show has been called to an abrupt halt. Bruce, the much loved presenter, has found murdered backstage! And it definitely wasn’t nice to see him to see him, to see him dead!

How do dinner theatre scripts work?
If you’re looking for a murder mystery evening which supplies entertaining sleuthing while you dine, then our Dinner Theatre style murder mystery evenings are just what you are looking for.
Each mystery is designed to be run in one room within a hotel/restaurant setting during a three course meal.
There are five suspects (the cast). One murder occurs before the event (the discovery of the body usually begins the evening) and one murder occurs mid-way through the evening. The dead body usually comes back as the inspector for the denouement. You can have a separate actor play this role if you prefer.
A stage manager is also useful for this type of script.
These mysteries are written as interactive dinner theatre with a series of scripts as well as interactive questioning by the guests. The emphasis is fun and melodrama and the plays require an experienced set of actors to learn back story. This style of script is NOT for novice actors due to the amount of line learning, and requirement to be confident ad-libbing.
A good team of actors will usually need between 4-6 rehearsals, OR to learn the scripts and back story in advance and an intensive afternoon of rehearsals on the day before the show.
The plots require props and often theatre blood. These props are often not too difficult to obtain. It’s usually things like knives, glasses, guns (fake obviously!), and small stage props e.g. handbags. Sound effects are also often minimal. Though some plots do benefit from having access to a starter pistol.
Introducing the suspects
Foxy Trott (Presenter)
A ray of sunshine and co-presenter of the show, Foxy brings both elegance and warmth to the contest and is always sparkling in her tailored dresses.
Leah Tard (Judge)
Extremely comely and well balanced, Leah is never short of a smile and her eyes sparkle.
Len Badguy (Lead Judge)
British Ballroom Champion and always dressed smartly in his tux, Len is a Londoner through and through and never minces his words.
Tony Buttontelli (Judge)
Extremely flamboyant and more than a little camp, Tony lives and breathes dance and always cuts a fine figure in his tailored Italian suits.
Charles Stone (Judge)
Always immaculately dressed, this lean Australian is not known for pulling any punches when he gives his opinion.
OPTIONAL EXTRA – Ballroom dancers – this game lends itself to having two different showcase dances at the start of rounds 1 and 3. These are fabulous when built into the evening as it really gives the guests that “wow” factor.

Customise this game
This game can be customised to fit your event for an additional fee.
It’s hard to give “ball park” figures for what different customisations would cost however we’ve attempted to HERE.
Please do contact us for a free quote if you would like any customisations on your game before purchase.
Remember… if you just need 1 extra person, or 1 less person, why not have someone play the inspector role?
The inspector can usually be male or female as the “for real” inspector can simply invent a new name for themselves.
Some hosts prefer to play the inspector role as it means they can work on the catering while the round plays out amongst their guests.
