Mystery Threatre

TrendCentral: The latest hot show in New York isn’t in the Theatre District, or even in any theatre for that matter. In fact, audiences are more like “participants” as they’re on their feet for the duration of the performance. Part theatre, part scavenger hunt, part walking tour, Accomplice: New York is giving participants a whole new way to experience the city, even among locals who previously thought tours are just for out-of-towners.
After signing up, participants receive a “mystery” phone call a day or two prior to the show, telling them where to meet. (Think of it as the new version of the popular ‘80s Murder Mystery Party.) Teams of eight then embark on a crime-solving Lower Manhattan-based adventure, picking up clues along the way from “random” encounters with Accomplice cast members.
