New Cast Members At The Wedding Reception Interactive Theatre Show

Last year I went along to the interactive theatre show called The Wedding Reception.  The show is centred around a wedding reception in a hotel within a function room just like a real wedding reception.  Guests begin with drinks which can be purchased at the bar and can mingle with each other as well as the actors that are in the room.  It won’t take you long to figure out who they are as they’ll come up to you and ask how you know the bride or groom.  At around 8pm guests are taken through to the reception to be seated. I hope you enjoy my post about the New Cast Members At The Wedding Reception Interactive Theatre Show.

The tables have been set and rolls are served and drinks orders are taken.  The show begins with us all preparing to congratulate the bride and groom who have just been married and are on their way to the hotel to enjoy a meal with their parents.  Unbeknown to them friends and family have been invited – that’s the audience for a surprise wedding reception confetti and all.

The show unfolds around the audience as they enjoy their meal and take in in the hilarity as it happens.  Not quite as civilised as the weddings I normally go to, this one will have you entertained from start to finish and you really don’t know what to expect – it really is great fun.  The show is PG 15 as there is some strong language and sexual innuendo.  There are 4 actors in the show and each performs either 2 or 3 different roles.  The show is pretty fast paced and the actors move all around the room – bet their fitbits count a few thousand steps during the show at least.

This time some of the actors were different from my first visit – the show was just as good though.  I also heard that the it will only be on one more time this year at the Kingsway Hall Hotel on the 16th of December at 8pm.  It’s a great night out with friends and something different from your normal theatre show.  But don’t worry the fun doesn’t end there.  In Spring 2018 (dates to be confirmed) they will be moving to a much larger, brighter room at the 4-star Radisson Blu Edwardian Bloomsbury Street Hotel for three months and taking their crazy fun theatre show with them.

So what should you expect from this interactive theatre show?

Well for starters a mozzarella and tomato salad with balsamic glaze – see what I did there (sorry couldn’t help myself).
Food At The Wedding Reception Interactive Theatre Show
A bit of spontaneous dancing.

And maybe a bit more dancing.
Hair caught in a zipper – not quite a There’s Something About Mary moment thankfully.
Just like a real wedding you’ll be fed 3 courses.  I had chicken for my main but I also noticed there was a vegetarian / nut free option – they cater for almost everything from the look of it dietary requirementwise.  The food is there to support the show so don’t expect Michelin star dining.
Some spontaneous singing.
Will’s mum (groom) singing Rain on My Parade and she does a pretty good job of it too.
A little naughtiness.
 Audience Interaction.

The best mans speech goes oh so wrong!  Yes that’s him in his underpants.  I don’t want to say too much so I don’t spoil it for you.
And plenty more.  You even get dessert at the end with tea or coffee.
These guys are also responsible for the Faulty Towers Interactive show which has been a great success and will be moving to the new venue from 19th of January for the whole year with 6 shows each week.  I hope to visit the new venue and see what it’s like.  Having seen the hotel before I have a feeling it’s going to work extremely well.  There are shows at various locations around the UK.  If you want to find one near you take a look at their website.  The tickets cost £43 per person which is reasonable for a show and meal.  Make sure you go it’s great fun!

    A different take on the murder mystery dinners! How much fun would this be? Looks like a complete hoot!!

  2. Hannah

    This looks great and really fun too. Looks like you had a fun time

  3. Vicky

    I’m not sure how I feel about interactive theatre. I think I’d be too scared that they would gang up on. me.

    Looks like a very funny evening!

  4. Sarah

    This sounds so fun! I’ve never heard of anything like it! I’m sure it would be hilarious to watch, but also I think I’d feel quite nervous that they’d talk to me! Haha

      I’m sure you’d be fine they are all really lovely. The show is a must see!

  5. Jen

    Gosh! Who knew! Nope, never been to anything as interactive as that. Usually when I go to see a show, I like to sit in the dark and absorb the acting, but this is totally different. I imagine it would be rather fun, and totally different to a theatre show.

  6. Afshan Nasim

    This kind of theatrical wedding looks like lots of fun! I would love to attend one of these shows and both a delicious three course meal, even that bit better.

    1. admin

      They are fun to see. The meal is an added bonus.

  7. William Gould

    It looks like fun! We very nearly went to an interactive show when on holiday in Chicago, which involved gangsters and raids and things like that. From the reviews, it did sound as if there was a lot of “joining in” involved though, so we didn’t go in the end.

    1. admin

      That’s such a shame these are really good fun.

  8. Linda Hobbis

    This looks a lot of fun. I went to a murder mystery one a few years back which worked well and the local one I want to see if the Fawlty Towers Dining Experience which works the same way I believe. Hope this comes to Cardiff.

    1. admin

      The Faulty Towers one is also great fun. I would go see it if you can x

  9. Rachel George

    This sounds amazing- I’d love to go to one! This is right up my street! 🙂

  13. Kev Cannon

    This sounds like really good fun – makes a change from the traditional play performed on stage – has elements of pantomime with the breaking of the fourth wall

  14. Georgie Wright

    It looks like fun for the right crowd but I think I’d feel awkward.

  15. Amber Myers

    Oh my gosh, what a fun theatre show. My daughter would LOVE this. Hell, she’d want to perform in it. I’d go to watch and eat, ha. I’m too shy to act.

    1. admin

      She really would love this show. They have a Faulty Towers one too that is fun!

    This is so cool and unique! As someone who is working on planning a wedding along with her sister (for my sister, not me) I would never have thought of this as entertainment.

  24. Monica

    I’ve heard of murder mystery shows but never this. I would love to go to this! It looks hysterical.

  30. Sue-Tanya Mchorgh

    Attending The Wedding Reception interactive theatre show was an absolute blast! 💍🎭 It’s like stepping into a real wedding reception, with the excitement of mingling with fellow “guests” and even interacting with the talented actors. I loved how they seamlessly blended in, approaching you with questions about your connection to the bride and groom. The attention to detail in creating an authentic experience is truly impressive.

    1. admin

      It is one of the most fun experiences I’ve been on. I’m sure you will have the most amazing time there.

  41. Jada Rose

    I just had an interactive birthday party!! This post reminded me of how fun they can be, especially if you aren’t an escape room type of person. I feel these types of parties take the edge off.

  42. Nikki Wayne

    This sounds like a fun place to visit. I wish we had something like this close to my house.

  49. Sangeetha

    I had an absolute blast at The Wedding Reception interactive theatre show last year! The concept of immersing guests in a wedding reception setting is so unique and engaging. The actors’ interaction and the way they blend in with the audience add a fun element to the experience. Can’t wait to read more about the new cast members and how they’ve added to the show’s charm. 🎭👰🤵

  50. Jupiter Hadley

    Wow I have never been to an interactive dinner show but this sounds like a really fun experience! I like that the food matches what I’ve had at wedding receptions too.

  51. Clarice

    This sounds so much fun! I haven’t heard anything similar to it but I would love to experience this. The tickets seem reasonable since it includes a meal already.

  52. Ramil Hinolan

    This is something different for a performance and the audience were involved. Basing on the pictures, the audience were enjoying the show.

  53. Abida

    This is an absolutely unique and exciting wedding show.. It must be so great to be there.

  54. vidya
