The Quail Creek Murder Mystery series is alive and well, and it’s not too late to buy tickets. They remain on sale at Member Services and online until Feb. 20.
A two-course meal will be served between acts featuring delicious pork loin, vegetable, rolls and butter, coffee, and dessert. The ticket price is $37.50, which includes the meal, tax, and gratuity. Tables of eight are available, and you can buy as many tickets as you’d like.
The Quail Creek friends and neighbors who brought you last year’s Murder on the Arizona Express present their 17th annual musical comedy whodunit, honoring the tradition begun by the late Davey Jones. This year’s show is written and directed by John Martin who has strived to keep Davey’s legacy alive.
The show will be in the Crystal Ballroom on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, Feb. 26, 27, and 28. Showtime each evening is at 6 p.m. with a cash bar, and doors open at 5 p.m.
The scene is set at Arnold’s Drive-In. Yes, the same Arnold’s from the hit TV show Happy Days. It closed soon after Happy Days went off the air when Arnold passed away. It sat empty until now when Arnold Jr. decided to reopen the iconic malt shoppe.
Will any of the major cast members come to be part of the reopening? Maybe and maybe not. But friends of Richie, Ralph, Potsie, and The Fonz are attending the reopening.
What starts out as a trip down memory lane soon turns from nostalgia to dead serious. That is “dead” as in a murder. Who gets murdered? Who did that dastardly deed?
Familiar music from the Happy Days era, performed by the cast, helps tell the stories of nostalgia, rekindled romance, secrets revealed, and, finally, murders solved. The cast will perform songs by well-known artists from that era: Buddy Holly, Karen Carpenter, Shelly Fabares, Cass Elliot, The Box Tops, Del Shannon, Patsy Cline, and Jerry Lee Lewis. During the dessert break, you will get a chance to solve the murder(s).
