Hot Jambalaya

Suzi recommended and nominated!

Dad’s Garage and Horizon Theatre are excited to present Hot Jambalaya at Horizon Theatre this May 22—June 21! Tickets and more information are available on Horizon Theatre’s website.


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

Listen to the original cast recording here!

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!
