RECOGNITION / AWARDS

From Off-Broadway

The internationally popular game is now a fun filled musical which brings the world's best know suspects to life and invites the audience to help solve the mystery: who killed Mr. Boddy, in what room and with what weapon. The audience receives forms to help them deduce the solution from clues given throughout the fun filled evening. Three audience members choose from cards representing the potential murderers, weapons and rooms; there are 216 possible solutions! Only one hard nosed female detective is qualified to unravel the merry mayhem. Comic antics, witty lyrics and a beguiling score carry the investigation from room to room. Even after the culprit confesses, a surprise twist delights the audience. This colorful crowd pleaser was devised by the authors of Murder at Rutherford House and other popular interactive entertainments.

It was just phenomenal!

Enter the chaotic world of a Parker Brothers’ board-game, and you’ll find that every day devices have enterprising uses. Yes, not only can you play Clue, but you can do it while singing. The six quirky and perfectly color-coordinated characters the world knows and adores are now able to move about a stage as if it were a ballroom or billiard room. Manipulating the transpiring events is your omnipresent host and charismatic cadaver, Mr. Boddy. Even after his demise is carried out by one of the all-too-familiar six suspects, Mr. Boddy carries the show like a coffin on his back. With the aid of a detective, and several incriminating pieces of evidence, the audience then decides the room, the object and the suspect. This musical is clever, entertaining and so much fun that you will need a wrench, candlestick, knife, pipe, revolver or rope to take you out of your seat. Clue: The Musical is superb for black-box theatre, high school/ college theatre and your local community theatre.
