When their host turns up dead, they all become suspects. Led by Wadsworth – the butler, Miss Scarlet, Professor Plum, Mrs. White, Mr. Green, Mrs. Peacock and Colonel Mustard race to find the killer as the body count stacks up.

The Price is Right Live!
Date: September 15th
Time: 3PM & 7PM
Location: Harrah’s Hoosier Park – Anderson, IN
“Seeing The Price Is Right Live is a little bit like being reunited with a childhood friend. Anyone who grew up anywhere near a TV from the early 1970s onward probably has the classic game show embedded forever in their consciousness; seeing it play out in front of you (and maybe even taking part) can be a thrillingly surreal experience. But it’s much more than just a nostalgia trip. Whether you’re a lifelong fan of the show or it’s your first exposure to the whole concept, the stage version of The Price Is Right is an enormous amount of fun, with random audience members picked to compete for cash and prizes by playing challenges like Plinko, The Big Wheel and The Showcase. If you’re among the lucky attendees who get the famous call to ‘Come on down!’ you just might feel a little chill go up your spine. But even if you aren’t, it’s still a blast to be part of the whole thing as it happens.”
