Murder and comic mayhem are set to entertain audiences at the Peace Center with the arrival of the stage comedy “Clue” from April 16-21. Based on the cult 1985 film and the classic Hasbro board game, the play promises to deliver an evening of suspense, laughter, and mystery.
In “Clue,” six mysterious guests find themselves gathered at the secluded Boddy Manor, only to discover that death is on the guest list. As the bodies start to pile up, the guests must navigate through a twisted web of deception and intrigue to uncover the culprit. The play is a blend of whodunit mystery and uproarious farce, keeping audiences on the edge of their seats.
John Treacy Egan, who portrays Col. Mustard in the production, shared that the stage version of “Clue” has been updated to resonate with contemporary viewers. With a runtime of 85 minutes and no intermission, the play maintains a fast-paced momentum from start to finish, ensuring a thrilling experience for theatergoers.
Unlike traditional musicals, “Clue” is presented as a straight play, offering a refreshing alternative for audiences. Egan mentioned that the play’s devoted following often dresses up as characters from the story, adding a fun and interactive element to the theatrical experience.
As a seasoned actor with a background in Broadway and film, Egan emphasized the intense nature of performing in “Clue.” With its rapid-fire dialogue and intricate plot twists, the play demands constant focus and agility from the cast to maintain its high-energy pace.
While the film version of “Clue” famously featured three different endings, the stage adaptation offers a single but satisfying conclusion that is sure to keep viewers guessing. Egan assured that the final twist would not disappoint fans of the original movie or the board game.
The national tour of “Clue” originated at the Cleveland Playhouse in 2019 before traveling to venues across the country. The production has received acclaim for its dynamic performances and engaging storytelling, making it a must-see event for theater enthusiasts.
If you’re ready for an evening of mystery, comedy, and clever wit, make sure to catch “Clue” at the Peace Center from April 16-21. Tickets for this exciting production are available for purchase, offering an opportunity to enjoy a theatrical experience like no other.
