Murder and blackmail are on the menu when six mysterious guests assemble at Boddy Manor for a night they’ll never forget! Was it Mrs. Peacock in the study with the knife? Or was it Colonel Mustard in the library with the wrench? Based on the cult 1985 Paramount movie and inspired by the classic Hasbro board game, Clue is the ultimate whodunit that will leave you dying of laughter and keep you guessing until the final twist.
The play also includes nods to the iconic board game throughout. The set design features a large mansion main entrance, with side rooms that rotate out to reveal locations like the parlor, the billiards room and the library. At one point a character holds the characteristic manila envelope labeled "CONFIDENTIAL," and at another point, a character holds up a map of the manor that is identical to the original Clue board. After two characters discover a trap door leading to an unexpected room, someone asks, "Who designed this place?" and the butler quips "the Parker Brothers."
There’s little genius in the touring Clue as well. But the script is chock full of deliciously groan-worthy one-liners and delightful overembellishments of classic murder mystery tropes. And the stage is filled with superbly performed slapstick.
