‘Boston Bar Bloodsuckers,’ a ‘Cheers’-inspired interactive murder mystery, returns for Hollywood Fringe Festival

Returning after a sold-out run in 2022, “Boston Bar Bloodsuckers” is a comedic scripted parody of the sitcom “Cheers”, but with the added twist that everyone’s a vampire, including you! The comedic interactive murder mystery is part of this year’s Hollywood Fringe Festival.

If you don’t know anything about the sitcom Cheers, that’s okay! This hour-long show involves brief moments of interaction with actors, including observing clues and questioning suspects. At the end, everyone will get a chance to vote for the killer, who will then finally be revealed.

You’ve been invited to celebrate the 200th birthday of vampire Queen Lilith, as well as the 30th anniversary of her officially turning everyone at the bar into vampires. As a local vampire yourself, you’ll get to “neckwork” with other vamps, as well as enjoy the casual banter of the staff and regulars at the bar. Will the romantic sparks fly between on-again-off-again Dan and Liane? Will psychiatrist Franklin pontificate on a subject that confuses Buddy? Will George be forced to leave his stool? As long as nothing goes horribly wrong, it should be a fun and relaxing evening! The stakes couldn’t be lower.
