"We couldn't be more excited to bring Marriage Can Be Murder to the iconic Rio Las Vegas," said John Bentham, producer and co-founder of Ivory Star Productions. "The move marks a new chapter for us, giving us an opportunity to reach even more locals, tourists, and longtime fans. The Rio team is making us feel right at home, and the property's ongoing revitalization is the perfect backdrop for the next evolution of our show."
"Rio's revitalization is all about creating unforgettable experiences," said Patrick Miller, CEO of Rio Hotel & Casino. "Our partnership with Ivory Star Productions adds a unique dimension to our entertainment lineup with Marriage Can Be Murder. Welcoming this dinner show to Rio reflects our vision of a property where entertainment, dining and fun merge into something truly extraordinary."
The relocation brings several exciting changes to the experiential dining show, including a new four-course dinner with added hors d'oeuvres served alongside the evolving plot, making for a fully immersive night of food, fun, and mystery. Guests will also enjoy the debut of a new storyline, "Ex's & Oh's". With themes rotating every three months, guests are guaranteed a fresh storyline each season, ensuring they never see the same show twice.
"The culinary experience has always been central to our show, and this move to Rio gives us the chance to elevate that even further," said Eric Post, co-creator and executive chef of Marriage Can Be Murder Dinner Show. "We've completely reimagined our menu to create a four-course journey that complements each twist and turn of the mystery. Each course is timed to the story's progression, so guests aren't just eating dinner, they're dining through clues, savoring red herrings, and literally tasting the plot twists."
Ideal for audiences ages 12 and up, the award-winning, comedy-murder mystery dinner show blends razor-sharp humor and pop culture with campy entertainment, transforming guests from spectators into detectives in a twisted tale of matrimony and mayhem. As the show unfolds, audience members are invited to participate, follow clues, and work together to solve the "who-dun-it" mystery.
