Interactive Musical Comedy Murder Mystery
Popguy
the Sailor Man
He came home for the girl.
Somebody brought poison.
The Mystery
Five years missing. One wedding interrupted.
After five years missing at sea, Popguy returns to Sweethaven just as Olive Mohel is about to marry his musclebound rival Bruto. His story of a treasure voyage with the villainous Sea Nag and five years stranded on an island reignites every old rivalry in town.
The romantic dispute becomes a championship fight for Olive’s hand. Popguy wins — then collapses after eating a poisoned helping of spinach. The audience questions the suspects, studies the clues, and decides who wanted Sweethaven’s returning sailor out of the way.
The Experience
At some point, somebody in the audience becomes a volleyball.
Guests join the action as a Flower Girl, Ceremony Respondents, Spalding the Volleyball, Captain Steubingville, a Punching Bag, and a Ring Girl. The entire audience later questions the suspects and completes Detective Cards before the solution.
Evidence from the Case
What washed ashore in Sweethaven.
