Synopsis:

Based on the iconic 1985 Paramount movie which was inspired by the classic Hasbro board game, Clue is a hilarious farce-meets-murder mystery. The tale begins at a remote mansion, where six mysterious guests assemble for an unusual dinner party where murder and blackmail are on the menu. When their host turns up dead, they all become suspects. Led by Wadsworth – the butler, Miss Scarlett, Professor Plum, Mrs. White, Mr. Green, Mrs. Peacock and Colonel Mustard race to find the killer as the body count stacks up. Clue is the comedy whodunit that will leave both cult-fans and newcomers in stitches as they try to figure out…WHO did it, WHERE, and with WHAT!  Some restrictions may apply.

Character breakdown:

Wadsworth- Male, A traditional British butler in every sense: uptight, formal and “by the book.” He is the driving force in the play.

Yvette- Female, A sexy, French Maid, with her own secret aspirations. (Also plays THE REPORTER in the final scene).

Miss Scarlet- Female, A dry, sardonic D.C. Madam who is more interested in secrets than sex.

Mrs. Peacock- Female, The church-going wife of a Senator. A bit batty, neurotic, and quick to hysteria.

Mrs. White- Female, A pale, morbid, and tragic woman. Mrs. White may or may not be the murderer of her five ex-husbands.

Colonel Mustard- Male, A puffy, pompous, dense, blow-hard of a military man.

Professor Plum- Male, An academic Casanova who woos women with his big … brain.

Mr. Green- Male, A timid, yet officious, rule follower. He’s a bit of a klutz and awfully anxious.
