‘Colonel Mustard with a Wrench in the Kitchen’ ran for another two seasons in São Paulo during 2024. After great box office success, the play returns to the São Paulo capital, always bringing a new mystery to the spectator.

Michelle Gallindo, director and creator of the show, has specialized in the art of theatrical improvisation for over fifteen years. She highlights the uniqueness of the proposal:
The essence of the show lies in the complete originality of each story performed. In other words, each play is unique, guaranteeing an unprecedented experience each time it is seen, given its entirely improvised nature.”
