The
team is STILL talking about what a great time they had and how much they
enjoyed your production and your team!
You all provided us a wonderful evening of fun - the rhythm was
perfect.... not too fast and not too slow, the personalized jokes hit the mark
and made us laugh till we hurt, you've helped us discover a few more nicknames
(Dr. Evil is now an accepted character at staff meetings), and even got Chris
U. to loosen up and hug someone!
Thank you for the great evening of entertainment. It was the "frosting on the
cake" for our off-site!

I wanted to thank
you and your "Dial M" performers for the wonderful job they did yesterday. We were so impressed by the performers
and we had a great time! The
murder mystery was also valuable as a teambuilding tool for my group, as we
gained some important "take-aways" in learning how we interact as
teams. Again, we were very pleased
with all the impressive actors and we will definitely keep your group in mind
for future activities!
All the best,

Dear Peggy,
I have been
wanting to write you a note to let you know how wonderful the event was -
largely due to you and your team. Thank you so much for your ideas, guidance
and hands-on interaction with the planning stages. It was really great to work
with a professional such as yourself who understands the "corporate
culture" and turn what would have been a typical corporate function into
something really special and memorable. Thanks again, Peggy. I look forward to
working with you in the future.

Dear Peggy,
Just wanted to
thank you again for the "AWESOME" job you did last Wednesday with our
Murder Mystery event. Bob was really happy with the way everything went, he
especially enjoyed the little personalized jokes/touches that you added. We all
had a great time....even the grumpy people. We will definitely keep Dial M in
mind for future Northstar Events.
Hope you had a
good weekend, and let's keep in email touch.

Bravo! Your show
was great! Everybody had a ball! It was perfect for our goal of teamwork and
fun. Besides the hilarious events, everyone raved about the way your actors
tailored the show to our group by including names and "inside" bits
of information known only by the 161 people who were there. Let me assure you
that if you ever want a recommendation in the future, I would be thrilled to
oblige.

Peggy,
Your team did a
great job with our team building event last week. The activities seemed to be right to get people to loosen up
and work with people that they may not have known before. They also made people laugh and have a
good time in general without too much pressure to get too far out of their
comfort zones.Our overall team building goals were met. Thanks again for your
services and we hope to work together again in the future.

let you know that the performers for the halftime show were absolutely
amazing! Everyone in the
audience was captivated. It was
noted that this was the only time in our history that no one left the stands!! I know that you said they were
awesome, but your words just couldn't explain it. Even after being prepped by you, I still spent the hours
after the show just shaking my head and saying WOW. Also, they were just the nicest people to work with. Professional and kind, the kids loved
working with Choby and Eric. We
all are so pleased and the local community is still buzzing. You have a loyal customer and
will keep my eyes open for new opportunities to collaborate.
Thanks again,

Hi Peggy,
The event went
great. "Humphrey Bogart" was awesome. We had him and a couple other
look alikes stationed near the entry and photo-op section. All the guests loved
them, and enjoyed having their pictures taken with the stars. "Billy
Crystal" was good too. He worked real well with the VPs, so that was
great.
All in all, the
night was a huge success! Thanks for all your assistance.

Dear Peggy,
The show was GREAT.
Very professional, enjoyable, entertaining and worth every cent! She was very
professional. She was on time. In character. Established good audience
participation and connection almost immediately. A talented vocalist and dancer
with a great sense of humor. The guests LOVED her and her performance. Many
asked me for her referral and approached her for future events' contact.
Working with Dial was very pleasant, easy and professional. I would call upon
you again. I have also shared your contact information with others, in
particular, our club's manager in charge of special events.
Thank you VERY
much for your services and many thanks to the talented Shari.

Hi Peggy,
Last Friday
night's Wizard of Oz production was great! Thank you again for another
FANTASTIC event. We had several thank you calls from the public - which just
never happens. That tells me that we exceeded their
expectations. I can't thank you enough. Next year, we're thinking of showing
Grease and holding a sock hop.
What do you think?
Talk to you soon.
Hope all is well!

Both the band and
the dealers did a great job and were nice to work with. Cover Dogs were very good, and the
guests -- both young and "old" -- very much enjoyed their music. They were courteous, punctual, friendly
towards the kids, and I was impressed with every aspect of their performance. I would not hesitate to recommend
them. The dealers were great too
-- the kids really enjoyed them.
It was also a pleasure to work with Peggy and I appreciate all her
efforts in getting the band lined up -- especially after the first band dropped
out. I look forward to working
with you again in the future.

helped us put on. Your show was fabulous and al in our party had a great time.
The comedy left us all in stitches. I loved the way you incorporated our

wonderful. The food was delicious and the accommodations were a perfect
setting. Thank you again for helping us plans our event and making it so

Dear Peggy,
I'm writing you
on behalf of our entire department (Communication Media) here at Hughes Space
and Communications Company to tell you how much we enjoyed your murder mystery
show at our department holiday party at the Stinking Rose Restaurant on
December 10."I've talked with many of the people who attended, and I have
not heard one negative comment from anyone. What I have heard are reactions reflecting
my own; for example:' It was a fun evening from start to finish. The
clue-matching exercise at the beginning was a good mixer without forcing anyone
to participate if they really didn't want to.' The production was good theater
in every respect. It was well staged amid severe space constraints. Everyone in
the company was obviously well rehearsed and prepared. The homework that you
did to personalize the show all the way through was very effective and very
funny. Every member of the cast
was splendid. They were all skilled actors, seamlessly blending the scripted
material with the considerable amount of improv required. Further, they were
all 'into' their work, taking it as seriously and wholeheartedly as I would
expect of a good cast on stage anywhere. They obviously took pride in what they
were doing. Even the song and dance number at the end was terrific. Along with
everything else, you all can sing harmony, too! Outstanding! Thanks so much for
a great evening!

Dear Peggy,
The verdict is
in...and as expected, Murder at the Mirage is the talk of the town! I just
wanted to say thank you once again to you and the entire staff at Dial
"M". Your professionalism and ability to work with us in our attempt
to create a special weekend for our guests certainly paid off. Your staff is
definitely 'one of a kind.' I have never met a group of individuals that work
together, mesh so closely, or enjoy what they are doing so much as this group
of actors. Each member of the group sparkled individually, and when their
talents combined, they lit up the room like the stars on a clear night. I'm
sure that their enthusiasm and dedication to you and Dial "M" has
been beneficial to Dial "M" becoming so successful in just a few
short years. I'm glad that we could be a part of your company's anniversary,
and I'm even happier that The Mirage was your first 'adventure' in Las Vegas.
We're definitely planning to use your company again. Once again thanks for the
great production and continued success to you.
Dona Cassese,

Dear Peggy,
Sorry I didn't
get a chance to meet you on November 21st; Michelle was equally as charming.
What I neglected to tell you about our gig at Gladstones is that a number of
our Executives are calloused, cynical Murder Mystery veterans. No b.s. here.
They RAVED about the performance as being one of the most
entertaining
murder mysteries they've ever seen. And the Circle of Excellence honorees were
truly impressed. We're still getting compliments here from the attendees.
Please pass these compliments along to your cast members. Please feel free to
use me as a reference, and I will definitely keep your crew in mind to suggest
to other organizations.

Hi Peggy,
The show was
great! The surprise was delayed a
bit, we were about 20 min. late but the crew jumped right in and started
without being rude or pushy. The
actors were all great, the personal contact with the audience was
excellent. To a person everyone
that spoke to me afterward raved about the show. A couple of people said it was the best birthday party they
had ever been to! The interaction
between the inspector and some of the guests was really funny, he really did a
great job. I will recommend this
to anyone who is looking for a fun, fast and hilarious night.
