Reviews
★★★★
“This is a highly entertaining production even if you have never seen an episode, filled with outrageous fun.”
British Theatre Guide★★★★
”For a funny, campy evening, there is little that could beat Solve-Along-A-Murder-She-Wrote’s unique qualities and Benzie’s wit and charm. Personally this reviewer can’t wait to revisit Cabot Cove. Never mind ‘whodunnit’, more like ‘yougottadoit!”
The Reviews Hub★★★★★
“Whodunnit? Tim dunnit – and he did it so well I can’t wait for the next one!”
Fairy-Powered Productions★★★★★
“As soon as I saw it was on at the [Edinburgh] Fringe I elbowed my way through the other BW reviewers, pushed a couple of them over … just so I could get to the front of the queue and see this show again. And it did not disappoint … I’d go again in a heartbeat.”
Broadway World“You’ll be swept away with Jessica Fletcher feels … it has the BEST HOST.”
