THE MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF VICTOR TIMM is an award-winning, farcical murder mystery musical where everyone is a suspect and no one is safe!
After the death of multi-millionaire Victor Timm, Detective Avery Wilcox and Victor Tim's ghost lead the audience as Wilcox interviews each of the suspects.
At the end, the audience takes a vote on which of the suspects they believe did it! The ending changes with each way the audience votes!
This musical is a fast, fun, and family-friendly romp with a small cast of wacky characters.
