The Critics speak!
“You’ll be swept away with Jessica Fletcher feels … it has the BEST HOST.”
Time Out London
“A cinematic, theatrical and hilarious experience… Before the night I had never seen an episode of Murder, She Wrote before, unlike some dedicated fans who had even dressed up. However, this really was an evening everyone could enjoy.”
Nottingham Post
“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
“The self-confessed super-fan and award-winning playwright will lead you into a silly whirlwind of nostalgic giggle, using his wealth of camp trivia and sound logic to solve these killings.”
★★★★★ One4Review
“Benzie knows how to put on a great show… I would happily see it again, with all the fervour of the ‘Jessica Fletcher eating popcorn’ meme.”
★★★★★ Everything Theatre
“I’d challenge anyone to sit through this show and not get utterly invested in figuring out whodunit.”
★★★★ West End Wilma
“This is a highly entertaining production even if you have never seen an episode, filled with outrageous fun.”
