Step inside the smoky glamour of turn-of-the-century Paris as the Bohemian Revolution ignites the Moulin Rouge, where champagne flows, feathers sparkle, and secrets simmer beneath the stage lights. But tonight, the can-can isn't the only thing with a kick. A dangerous love triangle between a writer, a courtesan and the club's powerful patron is about to take a wicked turn, and when passion becomes deadly, it's up to you to solve the crime before the final curtain falls.
Will love conquer all? Will the show go on? And can-can-can you uncover the killer lurking in the shadows of the Moulin Rouge?
A criminal cabaret like no other. If you like a little mystery with your meal, After Dark's Criminal Cabaret is the perfect evening out. Expect a fast-paced blend of comedic theatre, live interrogations, immersive storytelling and scenes that unfold right around your dining table. You'll quiz the suspects, review the evidence, and play detective as this larger-than-life cast brings the Moulin Rouge to Stanley House in a way you've never experienced before.
Every mystery has its twists, turns, and signature After Dark moments, so prepare for the unexpected.
Looking to make a night of it? Limited bedroom availability offers the perfect excuse to escape to the House on the Hill after an evening of intrigue and decadent entertainment.
