Dinner will be served.

Vitello's has been transformed for a memorial unlike anything Hollywood has ever seen.

Every guest receives a memorial program celebrating the life and remarkable career of Sophia Vance. As the evening unfolds, its pages become more than a keepsake—they become part of the story.

Around you, conversations begin. Old friendships are rekindled. Long-buried resentments resurface. Secrets quietly pass from one table to the next.

Before dessert is served...
everything will change.

Dinner With the Suspects

Everyone Has a Story.
No One Is Telling the Whole Truth.

Take your seat alongside Hollywood's elite, studio executives, journalists, friends, and family. Every guest has come to honor Sophia Vance—but not everyone came for the same reason.

As dinner is served, conversations begin to reveal hidden rivalries, old betrayals, and carefully guarded secrets. Listen closely. Every story offers another piece of the puzzle.

No one announces when the investigation begins. One moment you're sharing a meal. The next, you're questioning everyone at your table.

By the end of the evening, you'll have to decide who to believe.
