Tonight I had to opportunity to see Salty Dinner Theater’s production of Young Sherlock at The Old Spaghetti Factory in Orem, and I loved every minute of it! This was my first time experiencing dinner theater of any type, and I’m very glad I got to be with this group for that. As we entered the back room at the restaurant, we chose one of three entrees for our meal (there are different procedures for dinner depending on the restaurant where you see the show and dinner is NOT included in the ticket price) and were greeted and sat by members of the cast. At the table we were given a piece of paper to select “who-done-it” and what their punishment should be, as well as a list and description of the main characters of the show. As the wait staff came around and took our orders, the cast spent the time mingling with the audience. It was highly entertaining (my mother had a very fun, if somewhat confusing conversation with Watson that was a joy to watch) and it really lent itself to the more casual atmosphere of dinner theater and set the tone for what we were about to see.
The show began with an introduction and song by the character Officer Bumbledarling. It was quickly followed by a murder, one cop closing the case, another who thinks it shouldn’t be closed, and a pretty girl who needs help to solve the murder. Which brings our main character, Sherlock Holmes, who embarks on a quest to determine who the murder is and to make them face punishment for their crimes. I don’t want to give too much away as it is a mystery, and one that we as audience are asked to solve at the end, but there is romance, fighting, humor, and a lot of really amazing accents! There also audience competitions, where the winner receives 2 free tickets to their next production (ours was a dance off, and I won! Woot, woot!)
The costumes were all gorgeously done and fit the time period of the piece extremely well. The actors were always in character when they were in the room, even when they were conversing with the audience or being goofy for the sake of a laugh. I was impressed with every actor in the show and well they took the character and made it their own. You could see the work that each cast member put into their character, and added to the professionalism of the show. There were great jokes for adults to laugh but it was also appropriate for the children in the room.
I loved this production, and I highly recommend it to everyone. Tickets are $15 for adults and $8 for children. They have 4 more performances of this delightful show, and you should definitely go see one of them.
