If classic whodunits really float your boat, you’re in luck. It’s reasonable to deduce that you’ll leave the Showboat with suitable closure on Agatha Christie’s crime classic The Mousetrap. It’s an archetypal Christie setup: Snowed in at an ancient manor, guests find themselves embroiled in a murder mystery when one of them turns up brutally strangled. As the killer walks among them, all wonder whodunit—and who’s next. The University of Minnesota Actors Theater adds flair to the story by interspersing choreographed olios—1890s-style show tunes—to amuse and entertain. But can they be trusted? Hey, who’s that lurking in the shadows? Harriet Island, St. Paul; (651) 227-1100; www.showboattheater.com
