Hot Jambalaya

Family ties, lies, secrets, and the treachery of old New Orleans aristocracy boil over in Hot Jambalaya, an exciting Suzi-nominated original murder musical comedy from Dad’s Garage! 

The Plot

When Papa Joe “Sewer King” Van Horn takes a fatal spill from a French Quarter balcony, his eccentric family, friends, and professional associates gather for his funeral aboard the aging steamboat Fleur de Lis only to make a series of startling discoveries: Papa Joe was murdered, every single person present wanted him dead, and the killer intends to strike again!

Trapped aboard the Fleur de Lis, our hapless cast—which includes Van Horn’s manic and pretentious widow, his flamboyant son, his dowdy and embittered daughter, a disgraced chef with a love of sharp knives, a washed-up French boat captain, an ex-cop obsessed with the truth, and a New York reporter with a fatal attraction to all things murder—must uncover whodunit and why before the killer strikes again!
