It’s a dark and stormy night at Boddy Manor. Scarlet, Plum, White, Green, Peacock and Mustard arrive for a very unusual dinner party where the host is, well, dead—and nothing and no one are quite what they seem. Add one suspicious butler, a house full of suspects and an alarming assortment of weapons, and you’ve got Clue, a madcap murder mystery packed with mayhem, mischief and plenty of laughs. As the body count stacks up and suspicions run wild, everyone is racing to uncover the killer before they become the next victim.

ABOUT THE SHOW

  • “It’s funny and frothy and light, the kind of breezy night at the theater that most audiences would kill for.”
