"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.
5 stars *****
Broadway World
Id challenge anyone to sit through this show and not get utterly invested in
figuring out whodunit, whilst smiling at the comfort that this 80s drama
brings.

It didnt take long for Benzie to have the audience in stitches and he had the
whole crowd in the palm of his hand the entire evening.
Bristol 24/7
For a funny, campy evening, there is little that could beat
Solve-Along-A-Murder-She-Wrotes unique qualities and Benzies wit and charm.
Personally this reviewer cant wait to revisit
Cabot Cove. Never mind 'whodunnit', more like 'yougottadoit!"

We strongly advise you to contact us before your visit. Limited free personal assistance tickets are available for most events and we can try to reserve seating if needed, there are seats with an upward step to the raised area and small stools on ground level.
The RVT has an accessible main door, with a small ramp for wheelchairs and is flat throughout the main area. There are toilet cubicles that can be accessed without steps, but are not wheelchair accessible.
On busy events we cant always guarantee a clear view of the stage for people in wheelchairs, and the cabaret area does get very busy.
