The music of Sinatra’s Vegas returns to Pickwick & Frolic bigger and better than ever. Party like the Rat Pack in a full evening of fine dining and entertainment. Experience the exciting new supper club version of Pickwick’s famous “Midnight Martini Show”--the long-running Cleveland sensation that paid sizzling tribute to a cool era.

Dine in Pickwick’s Vegas-style cabaret. Choose from one of our two supper club entrees prepared especially for the occasion. Interact with showgirls and crooners. Then sit back with a cocktail and thrill to the music that made the Rat Pack and their friends synonymous with great entertainment.

The Martini Show has it all...cool guys, hot dames, great singing, audience interaction, jokes, toasts, prizes, and wisecracking. We’ll even acknowledge your celebration from the stage. It’s a big party with music as big as the town that made it famous--Las Vegas. And you’re invited. Show opens on Saturday, September 6 for a limited run.

ABOUT THE MURDER MYSTERY DINNER THEATRE

Murder Mystery CastIt’s murder mystery madness! The interactive dinner theatre craze has come to Pickwick &
Frolic as only Pickwick can pull it off with its top-notch food, permanent stage, computerized
lighting, state-of-the-art sound and a national reputation for outstanding talent. “The Red Carpet
Murders” opens February 20, 2009 and plays Friday nights in a limited run. It is also available for
groups of 40 or more on any day (pending cast availability.)

 

The evening begins with salad, cocktails and characters served right to your table but you'll have to leave your seat if you receive an award. Beware, however, the red carpet curse! Some award-winners don't make it through the night.

As the body count mounts, entertainment and accusations follow during the “live” telecast of The Red Carpet Awards Show. But before the killer can be unmasked, your choice of one of four entrees is served. Also included with each meal are non-alcoholic beverages, house salad with bread course, and dessert.

After dinner, the twists and turns continue full-tilt with only a pause for dessert as the evidence mounts and the alibis unravel. It’s killer theatre. You solve the crime and compete for the reward. Get involved or sit back and enjoy the fun. We won’t make you do anything you don’t want to do.

GREAT FOR A SPECIAL OCCASION / BUSINESS, OR JUST A FUN NIGHT OUT!

Murder Mystery GroupWe recognize your celebration from the stage and make any occasion memorable. Murder mysteries are also great for building teamwork, creativity and problem-solving among employees in a unique atmosphere. Pickwick & Frolic is known for the quality of entertainment and food in the buffet dinner show package, which has been offered from our opening. We have carried that same quality through to our Mystery Dinner Theatre. Now, another option for dinner and entertainment, all in one!


CORPORATE TEAM BUILDING

Many businesses and corporations plan social gatherings to encourage employee bonding and a healthy work environment. Murder Mysteries accomplish this and more. They are not only great as a social night out but they also teach teamwork, facilitate communication and promote creative problem solving.

Throughout the evening, each table of 8-12 guests is encouraged to act as a team to solve the mystery. They are responsible for asking questions of the suspects as well as sharing any insights that will lead to a group verdict. At the end of the evening there is even a prize for the winning team.
