An interactive ‘Killer Karaoke’ dinner-theater night in a private room at Lou Malnati’s Scottsdale — this guide explains the flow, menu, and what to expect.
A Murderously Fun New Year’s Eve: Karaoke, Costumes and Pizza in a Private Lou Malnati’s Room.
This is a theatrical karaoke contest that unspools like a comic whodunit: attendees assume assigned characters, compete on stage to become the World Karaoke Champion, and work to solve a string of mysterious “accidents” after the arrival of the flamboyant Diva Star — all while sharing a plated dinner and desserts in a private room at Lou Malnati’s in Scottsdale.
