Arizona Theatre Company — Attraction in Tempe

This review is about the play "Dial M for Murder" specifically. We were excited to see this classic, family-friendly, Alfred Hitchcock classic. They turned this into a woke version that included a couple of lesbian lovers from the very opening scene and closing with them passionately making out on the couch and laying on top of each other. The theater was half-empty on a Saturday night and we can now see why. Just stick to the original script of the classics and don't make them woke. The facility was beautiful. The parking lot was a disaster with no signage, cars going both directions and jackknifed all over the place, and when you enter and go straight you would end up going right into a wall - so there were a bunch of cars stacked up that were backing up to where you enter through the gate. I've never seen such a parking debacle. It took a half hour to get out of the parking lot and there weren't that many people from the theater.

"Ms. Holmes and Ms. Watson Apt. 2B" is a sharp, engaging, and utterly unique theatrical experience....

Went to see the classic Hitchcock "Dial M for Murder". We ended up seeing a very woke version that ended up totally changed this classic to involve two lesbian lovers. They opened up on the couch - were key characters through the entire play - and ended up making out on the couch on top of eachother. Not what we were looking for. The theater was half empty - apparently others had picked up on the "new adaptation". Disappointing. Building was very nice. Parking was a disaster - no signage - people jack knifed all over the place going both directions - took 40 minutes to get out of garage and there were not that many people. If you want WOKE theatre - this is the place to go....
