Murder in the Key of Motown

On June 27, 2014   /   Past Events   /   Leave a comment

Murder in the Key of Motown

Dinner and an interactive show in downtown Yazoo City!

Put on your platforms. Bring your legwarmers and sing along with Jack Russell and the
Terriers as they attempt to perform Top 40 hits in the style of artists from
Motown to the totally awesome 80s.

MTKM Cast

Jack Russel and the Terriers

JR (Tommy Kobeck) and his band members, Gabe Marvin (Walt Herrington) , Patti Vandell (Wendie
Shepard), Delia Ross (Alahna Stewart) and Rhetta James (Becky Martin), are guaranteed to hit a few
high notes when they quarrel over who gets the spotlight and who gets the girl.
The backup singers get vocal after the audience chooses the winner of the
Sing Off. Any hope of harmony is dashed when the show turns into a
very limited engagement for one band member.

Thursday, July 10, 2014
at one of the best sites on the historic Blues Trail, the beautifully renovated,
The No Smoking Smokehouse
209 S. Main St.
Yazoo City, MS
Seating: 6:30 p.m. Show: 7:00 p.m.

Check out this promo video of Jack Russel and the Terriers!

Tickets are only $45 per person for a three-course meal (Salad, Pork Tenderloin or Chicken,
rolls, green beans, special dessert) and a fun musical murder mystery for you to solve!

Tickets can be purchased through Brownpapertickets.com:
