A Killer Party is a brand new musical murder mystery that features a book by four time Emmy Award winner Rachel Axler and Kait Kerrigan, with music by Jason Howland and lyrics by Nathan Tysen. This UK premiere is directed by Benji Sperring and produced by Katy Lipson for Aria Entertainment, Tanisha Spring for Blue Mahoe Productions and Ilai szpiezak.
The musical was first seen in America last year where it was written and developed in response to the closure of theatres. Filmed entirely in each artist’s home, viewers are invited to experience the joy of theatre in an entirely new
way.
When Varthur McArthur, failed West End actor and current artistic director of Blackpool’s smallest regional theatre, calls a read-through for his latest murder mystery play, the cast of local actors arrive at the party with anything but theatre on their minds. But when Varthur ends up face down in his soup (a gluten-free cheese bisque), it’s up to Traffic-Police-Officer-turned- Detective Justine Case to piece together what happened. If only the ensemble of suspects would stop singing…
The show is also set to feature musical supervision by Nick Barstow, designs by Zahra Mansouri and cinematography by Click Boom Studios.
A Killer Party will be available to watch on demand from the 26th April until the 23rd May. Ticket Prices: £25.00 for the Season or £2.99 per episode.
