ALL ABOARD!!! As we take our audience for a ride on the famous Orient Express.

This very fast paced show will transport audiences on a theatrical journey following the same route as the famous train through France, Italy, Switzerland and Austria.

From the moment the passengers are seated, whether it be in first class, second class, no class—or the baggage compartments, they will roar with delight as the bumbling Holmes and a very different Watson, Inspector Gadget and Miss Marples all try to solve the mystery on the train.

Audiences will marvel at Garter Hari's intrigue, and sing along with outrageous waiters and glamorous Can-Can girls. Lots of interesting characters on this zany train!
