Murder Mystery Manhattan will present DEAD BECOMES HER, an interactive drag murder mystery parody written and directed by Keith Dougherty. It will be presented Saturday, May 11 at The Laurie Beechman Theater (inside West Bank Café) at 407 West 42nd Street at Ninth Avenue. Doors open at 6pm with showtime at 7pm. Tickets are $24 for general admission or $35 for VIP tickets that include reserved front table seating and a meet-and-greet, available at www.SpinCycleNYC.com.

As part of the DEAD BECOMES HER audience, you become a member of E.L.S. - Eternal Life Society. Meet the mysterious temptress, Lisle, who doles out the immortality elixir, and Ernest, the famed plastic surgeon who helps keep all members of E.L.S. looking their best. Ernest is dating an aspiring writer, Helen, who soon ends up in a psychiatric hospital after Ernest is stolen by a failing movie star and former friend, Madeline. Some years later, Helen returns home to confront the now-married couple, looking dazzling, and everyone wants to know what her secret is - especially Madeline. Both Helen and Madeline, frenemies forever, will go to great lengths to stay endlessly young, but we soon find out that eternal life has a price - and someone doesn't survive the night. In this laugh-out-loud, over-the-top, interactive murder mystery, you become part of the story and help solve the crime.

DEAD BECOMES HER stars Amanda Baumler (That Lady From Maxim's), Keith Dougherty (Housewives of Secaucus), Brandon Patterson (Housewives of Secaucus), and Lynwood McLeod (A Gaga Guide to the Lower East Side, Housewives of Secaucus).
