It’s the sort of production that will probably consider itself to have done well if it has encouraged people in their audiences to open up – not necessarily to the Switchboard LGBT+ helpline, which features heavily in
Cruise, but to any appropriate channel that can help them offload their experiences and tell their story. I made the error of judging a show by the front cover of its programme: determining it to be a one-man show, it is at the very least a two-man show, with composer John Elliott on stage alongside Jack Holden, and of course there is an entire creative team and a production team that have come together to make it all happen.

I wouldn’t exactly say Ben Forster appearing as himself in this musical comedy is a career highlight (he is, after all, someone who has played the title role in the West End production of
The Phantom of the Opera) but it’s evident that he doesn’t take himself too seriously in
A Killer Party. The narrative arc is as predictable as night follows day. In short, this is a murder mystery story in which various leads are followed up, some more plausible than others, before eventually there’s a breakthrough of some kind in the investigation which results in the case being solved.
