What is the Musical Murder Mystery Game Show about?

I was looking at some recent patters from the Golden Princess and there was an afternoon game show called: Musical Murder Mystery. What is it and how is it played?

I wouldn't really call it a game show. A half-dozen "volunteers" are picked from the audience and assigned roles in the play--against type, of course. They ad-lib their responses to the narration; much potential for zingy one-liners and/or rude sound effects. At some point someone is expected to figure out which one of the cruise staff doing the narration is the murderer. Most memorable bit: at one point a waiter--voiced by a gradmotherly lady--runs through the galley in a panic and knocks over an entire stack of plates. But instead of a <crasssssh> sound effect, she of course saw fit to insert a four-letter expletive. Narrator's unblinking response: "I see you really have been in our galley!"

Do they have this one on all the Princess ships or just the Golden or is it up to the cruise director whether or not to "play" it? It sounds like fun.
