A Live Murder Mystery Experience

Cocktails & Secrets

Step inside the shadows of Storyville at May Baily’s Place in the historic Dauphine Orleans Hotel, where scandal, secrets, and suspicion come alive. Killer Theater NOLA presents Storyville: A Murdered Madam—an immersive mystery inspired by the powerful women who once ruled New Orleans’ infamous red light district.

A notorious madam has been murdered, and everyone in the room is a suspect.

As the night unfolds, guests interrogate characters, uncover hidden clues, and piece together the truth in a richly interactive theatrical experience. Some will even be drawn into the drama, stepping into roles inspired by Storyville’s most legendary figures—because here, no one is just a spectator.

Your evening includes a handcrafted cocktail—choose between The Madam’s Sazerac or The Madam’s 75—plus the chance to win tickets to the Storyville Museum. Curated bar bites will be available throughout the night.

Spend the evening wrapped in mystery and decadence.
Leave with secrets… and a story worth telling.
