Disco Dinner and Death at The Deli: 1970s Murder Mystery in Remington, VA

Step through the door of The Corner Deli at 100 James Madison Street in Remington, Virginia, and you enter a woven moment from the 1970s: chrome trim, a mirrored disco ball, a compact dance floor, a deli counter pressed into theatrical service, and a crowd in sequin and suede ready to laugh and investigate. Disco, Dinner, and Death at The Deli hosted by King Bradley is a three-hour interactive murder mystery that pairs a three-course meal with live, improv-driven sleuthing. The event meets at Mackenzie's Tunes & Tonics for check-in before moving into the deli space (100 James Madison St, Remington, VA 22734). The scene relies on a few clear set pieces — the food service counter that doubles as stage, the disco-lit dance area, period posters and props — and on participants willing to play along. Your ticket covers dinner and a part in the plot; everyone receives clues, some take on roles, and the evening crescendos with a costume award and the reveal of the perpetrator. Key features visitors notice are tangible: the deli counter used for interrogations, the mirrored ball that scatters light across the room, the dance floor where suspects jitterbug between clues, and the three-course meal that keeps the energy high. The experience leans into 1970s textiles and fashion—think bell-bottoms, platform shoes, wide collars, and big hair—without requiring professional acting chops. The show is accessible, capped at about forty guests, and designed to keep social interaction central to the fun. Why book this in Remington? It turns a small-town main street into an evening of communal theater where local flavor and participation matter. The Corner Deli’s address places it within walking distance of Remington’s downtown lodging options, and the format makes it ideal for groups, date nights, or travelers seeking a lively indoor option after a day on nearby trails or historic roads. Practical details: the ticket price listed is fifty dollars, the runtime is roughly three hours, the stated meeting point is Mackenzie's Tunes & Tonics, and the listing specifies no-refunds. This production stands out because it converts a functioning eatery into an immersive stage, combining shared food, vintage music, and a puzzle that only succeeds if the audience leans in. Whether you come for the costume contest, the nostalgia, or the theater-cum-dinner format, Disco, Dinner, and Death at The Deli is an energetic, social-first evening in Remington that rewards curiosity, costumes, and a willingness to dance on the edge of mystery. Tickets for the April 26th, 2026 performance run from 5–9 PM; adults only (18+), the event welcomes seasoned sleuths and first-time players alike, and attendees should arrive early to enjoy pre-show cocktails and costume touch-ups at the meeting point for more fun.
