See It Again

I just caught You Choose: An Improvised Murder Mystery, and I absolutely loved the premise. Imagine Clue crossed with a Choose Your Own Adventure book, except it's happening live and nobody, including the cast, knows where the story is going.

The performers were delightfully unhinged in the best possible way. There were accents flying in every direction, wigs that had clearly given up on life, and a slightly violent imaginary owl that somehow became one of my favourite characters.

One of the absolute highlights was recruiting an audience member to act as the medium who could communicate with the victim's ghost. It was such a clever twist, and the cast milked every second of it for laughs.

The joy of improv is watching incredibly talented people commit 100 percent to absolute nonsense, and this cast did exactly that. The mystery was fun, the comedy landed, and the whole thing had the kind of infectious energy that makes you wish you could see it all over again.

Every performance is different, which is reason enough to come back. If I'd had more time, I would have happily bought another ticket and let a whole new mystery unfold.
