Flappers and gangsters and guns... oh, my!

When a recent invitation from Mysteriously Yours Dinner Theatre landed in my inbox, I knew I couldn't resist the opportunity to get dressed up in 1920's themed costume. I didn't have much in the way of flapper dresses but a black dress paired with my new gold sandals and a floral hair clip seemed to have done the job. My date Deborah (@Mom2Michael) was so kind as to give me a couple of long pearl necklaces and loan her black feather boa to make the outfit complete. Once we arrived at Mysteriously Yours Dinner Theatre, we met a group of equally colourful characters dressed in Roaring 20's garb.

As you can imagine, the storyline took inspiration from the Wizard of Oz and included funny twists and hilarious puns. The audience involvement was lots of fun, especially when the 'mayor' made a special appearance. While this particular show wasn't my all-time favourite, it still landed among my top three alongside Apprentice to Murder and Once Upon a Murder. 

As always, the food was wonderful and I thoroughly enjoyed the roast breast of chicken topped with caramelized Dijon onions, roasted almonds and rosé wine cream sauce served on a bed of quinoa and with a side of green beans. Delicious!
