About this performance

Program: Clue (play) by Sandy Rustin.

Based on the beloved 1985 cult classic film, Clue - Live On Stage brings the whodunit comedy to theatrical life with all the mystery, mayhem, and murderous hilarity audiences adore. The story follows the iconic characters from the board game - Miss Scarlet, Colonel Mustard, Mrs. White, Mr. Green, Mrs. Peacock, and Professor Plum - as they gather at a remote mansion for a dinner party that quickly turns deadly. With multiple possible endings just like the film, this stage adaptation preserves the rapid-fire wit, slapstick comedy, and intricate plotting that made the original a enduring favorite.

Expect an evening of fast-paced theatrical comedy that blends mystery with physical humor and clever wordplay. The production delivers the same breakneck energy as the film, with actors racing through secret passages, brandishing candlesticks, and delivering perfectly timed one-liners. It's ideal for mystery lovers, comedy fans, and anyone who grew up playing the board game or quoting the movie. The interactive elements and multiple possible conclusions keep audiences guessing until the very end, making each performance feel fresh and engaging.

This national touring production is making stops across the country, from intimate performing arts centers to grand historic theaters. The tour spans major markets and smaller cities alike, bringing this theatrical treat to communities nationwide. Each venue offers its own charm, whether it's the elegant Saenger Theatre in New Orleans or the modern Winspear Opera House in Dallas, ensuring audiences everywhere can experience this comedic mystery in beautiful surroundings.
