Cocktails & the Mousetrap

On this Happy Hour Tuesday twin night, we headed to the IRT!

We were so excited to see Agatha Christie's Mousetrap!

We picked an evening where they were having a Happy Hour event!

Happy Hour |
Sun King Brewing Company & New Day Craft come together at the IRT to host a Happy Hour you don’t want to miss! 

Come an hour before the performance to enjoy complimentary samples and snag half-priced drinks from the bar all night long. 

We sampled New Day's Johnny Chapman and some of Sun King's ales!

Then we took advantage of their half-price drinks before taking our seats!

The set was absolutely incredible!  This 64-year-old play took us back to another time even as the story's relevance was unchanged by the years!

"The Mousetrap is the story of Mollie and Giles Ralston, two newlyweds who have inherited a beautiful but high maintenance country manor. Against their better judgment, they decide to turn it into a hotel. After their visitors arrive, a blizzard traps them inside the home and where among them, a murderer stalks."

"Part drawing room comedy and part murder mystery, The Mousetrap is a doubled-barreled whodunit full of twists and surprises."

We thought this was one of the best shows we had ever seen at the IRT!

And that is REALLY saying something!

The acting was outstanding!  We couldn't imagine more perfectly suited actors!

The set was fantastic!  We felt at home in the cozy yet magnificent drawing room!

The writing was impeccable!  

The story of each character was woven into the next for a suspenseful guessing game that had us questioning ourselves to the very end!

Of course our favorite, Ryan Artzberger, gave a tremendous performance as Giles!

Two things are certain: we love the IRT and we will never feel the same way about "Three Blind Mice"!

What an amazing twin night!
