ORLANDO, Fla. – Get out your magnifying glasses, it’s a real whodunit.
In the show, “Clue,” murder and blackmail are on the menu. It’s based on the iconic 1985 Paramount movie which was inspired by the classic Hasbro board game.
The comedy is based on the screenplay by Jonathan Lynn, written by Sandy Rustin with additional material by Hunter Foster and Eric Price. It features original music by Michael Holland.
The story takes place at a remote mansion called Boddy Manor, where six guests are staying. When the host turns up dead, everyone becomes a suspect.
The show takes the audience through the mystery to see who is at the center of the crime. Was it Mrs. Peacock in the study with a knife? Maybe it was Col. Mustard in the library with the wrench.
The comedy promises to keep the audience guessing and laughing until a final twist at the end.
The whole “Clue” franchise first started in 1949 with the ‘Cluedo’ board game. Currently owned by Hasbro, the game has sold more than 200 million copies worldwide.
In 1985, Paramount Pictures released a movie based on the board game and it went on to become a cult classic.
The Broadway tour of the show is making its way to Orlando starting Tuesday and it runs through Sunday. Click here for ticket information.
