Mysteriously Yours… Dinner Theatre:
Dead Air! A Musical Murder Mystery
June 19, 2006
It’s been about 7 years that Mysteriously Yours Dinner Theatre has been delivering murder and mayhem to Torontonians along with gastronomic delights. Now comes their first musical murder mystery set in a 1940’s radio studio. The emphasis of past productions, and this one is no exception, is having fun along with a fabulous meal. For their first outing as a musical Mysteriously Yours does a great job with catchy tunes and smart lyrics. The cast is all in excellent voice with some great harmonies. The performers are headed up by veteran Jean Daigle who is featured as William Randolf Wurst the owner of WBN Radio and who dies. Daigle also plays the GumShoe who helps solve the murder. We have an assorted cast of characters such as Orson Kane, Rory Rogers, Rose Bud, Jimmy, the Page and station manager Patty Wurst. They all spend time with the audience before the show, at intermission and at the end. The audience is involved in the plot and has an opportunity to finger the murderer. Hats off to producers Lili and Brian Caws for another fun evening of entertainment and their first musical murder mystery; the show is seen Friday and Saturdays plus some Thursdays. Mysteriously Yours Dinner Theatre is centrally located just 2 blocks north of the Davisville Subway station on Yonge Street.

Mysteriously Yours… Dinner Theatre:
Murder! On the Limelight Express
July 8, 2005
It’s
been a year or so since I last visited “Mysteriously Yours…Dinner
Theatre” so I’m pleased to report that this is still
the best dinner and theatre experience in Toronto. You are
thoroughly entertained with an excellent meal followed by a murder
mystery in which you get involved, help with the clues and then try
and solve the murder. This past weekend I experienced “Murder
On The Limelight Express” a takeoff on Agatha Christie’s
“Murder on the Orient Express”. This is simply a lot
of fun and you can’t help but get involved with all the actors
in character dropping by your table to talk and make the case that he
or she is a wonderful person and certainly not capable of murder. The
chef at “Mysteriously Yours” continues to give you a very
good meal. In the production I saw we even had the surprise of one of
the guests interrupting the action as Hercule Perrier was about to reveal
the murderer. This guest got down on bended [knee] and proposed to his
girl friend. Simply put “Mysteriously
Yours” is just a great evening of food, drink and entertainment.
During the summer months the shows are only on Friday and Saturday with
the murder mysteries in repertory. You have the choice of “CSI:
Baker Street”; “God Father Knows Best!” Who Wants
to be a Dead Millionaire?” and “Murder in Casablanca”.
The theatre is in a great location just 2 blocks north of the Davisville
subway station. That’s “Mysteriously Yours...Dinner
Theatre"; the fun and mayhem continues. The
show rates 4 and a half stars.

Mysteriously Yours
–
Godfather
Knows Best!
November 13,
2003
In the
heart of Toronto on Yonge Street just north of the Davisville subway
stop is Mysteriously Yours – a dinner Theatre that currently is
presenting “Godfather Knows Best!” The
show is a lot of fun and the food is just great. The dishes
are usually selected to compliment the story. In this case it’s
Italian. You get to participate in the story line and to try and guess
who done-it. The shows are every Thursday thru Saturday evenings and
there is a Wednesday matinee. It’s great to have such a theatre
in the heart of Toronto close to the subway – [in] other words
easy to get to. If you’re looking for a
fun evening with great food that doesn’t break the pocket book
“Mysteriously Yours Dinner Theatre ” is the ticket.
