About the Show

Marriage Can Be Murder has been running in Las Vegas for over 20 years, making it the city’s longest-running dinner show. The format is interactive murder mystery theater: a 4-course dinner is served while cast members — including an overeager detective lieutenant, a nosy hostess, and a suspect planted somewhere among the guests — work the room throughout the evening. You’re not watching a show; you’re in it.

The show runs about two hours with two short breaks built in for mingling, gathering clues, and chatting up your fellow suspects. The comedy is campy, the writing is sharp, and the improv-style audience interaction means every night plays a little differently depending on who’s in the room. Free parking is available at the Masquerade parking garage, and group packages are available for parties of 10 or more.

Choose it for date nights, special occasions, group dinners, or anyone who wants more than a passive show experience. Skip it if you want a quiet dinner, reserved seating without interaction, or a traditional stage production.

Who It’s For

Date Nights & Special Occasions

A full dinner plus two hours of interactive entertainment makes this a complete evening in one ticket. Anniversary dinners and birthday groups are regulars.

Groups Who Want to Be Part of the Show

The suspect is seated among the guests, the cast works every table, and the audience drives a lot of the comedy. Groups with someone who loves to perform tend to have a particularly good time.
