Hey man, can you dig it? Groovy! Outta sight! Far out! and Let’s Boogie is some the hip 70s slang featured in Murder at the Disco Lounge – a murder/mystery dinner experience created by Leslie Pryor Productions of Louisville, Ky.
Two separate showtimes for the experience took place on Sunday June 30, 2024 at Mellwood Art Center. The matinee began at 3:00pm and the evening experience began at 6:30pm. Attendees were encouraged – but not required – to dress in 70s attire. Dinner was included in the ticket price and a cash bar was also available.
Murder at the Disco Lounge is an exhilarating crowd interaction performance that allows audience members to attempt to solve the crime. The story line takes place in the 1970s and features the murder of popular nightclub singer “Beverly” – played by Gwen Jeffrey.
Patrons kept their eyes glued to the performance, while eating dinner simultaneously, as to be sure not to miss any clues that may help them solve the murder of Beverly. The smaller intimate venue allowed the performers to be within inches of the audience members, while the theatrical performance was taking place.
The experience featured live vocal performances of some of the biggest hits of the 1970s, a best 70s outfit contest and a choreographed roller skate exhibition from Louisville Skaters United.
The show was broken up into three separate acts:
ACT 1: Featured the actual murder
ACT 2: Presented the Evidence
ACT 3: Revealed the Murderer and Motive
Leslie Pryor Productions was established in 2012, by Leslie Pryor of Louisville, KY. Over the past fourteen years, the company has produced twelve theatrical performances and stage plays.
In 2022, Pryor began experimenting with the Murder/Mystery genre and has quickly become a force to be reckoned with. The writing and execution of the stories are top-notch. Leslie Pryor Productions is definitely a viable player within Louisville’s art scene.
