Review: CLUE at The 5th Avenue Theatre
Dear Readers, chances are you played that classic board game “Clue” as a kid. That game of weapons and rooms and attempting to decipher who the killer is. And if so, then you also may have seen the classic 80’s comedy movie based on that game with a litany of comedy heavy hitters playing those iconic suspects. And if you’re like me, and love both of those things, when you heard a stage version of “Clue” was coming to the 5th Avenue Theatre you may have thought, “oh no, this could be dreadful”. Luckily, Dear Readers, it’s actually a lot of fun. In fact, I laughed out loud multiple times, and not just at the jokes I remembered from the movie.

Review: CLUE: A NEW COMEDY, PROVES THE GAMES AFOOT at STRAZ CENTER
Adapted from the much-loved 1985 film, and the Hasbro Board Game, Clue: A New Comedy, is a murder mystery of a farcical nature that was written by Sandy Rustin and features additional materials by Hunter Foster and Eric Price.

Review: CLUE at Straz Center
CLUE is a comedic gem, a rollercoaster of hilarity, thanks to these brilliant actors. The witty dialogue, slapstick moments, and unexpected twists keep the audience in stitches. Whether it's a candlestick wielded in the library or a secret passage revealed, the humor and pace is relentless. critic think of CLUE at Straz Center?

Interview: Tari Kelly, Mrs. White in CLUE at Dr. Phillips Center
Was it Mr. Green in the Library with the Revolver? Miss Scarlet with the Candlestick in the Dining Room? Professor Plum with the Wrench in the Kitchen? These suggestions should sound familiar to any fan of the classic Hasbro board game, Clue, or of the 1985 cult classic comedy film of the same name. But June 4th – 9th in Orlando you might just be accusing Mrs. White of slaying the audience with hilarious comedy in the Walt Disney Theatre (at the Dr. Phillips Center) as CLUE, a new production based on the classic board game and film, takes the stage. Embodying the mysterious (and hilarious) perpetual widow, Mrs. White, will be Tari Kelly who sat down with me to share about her theatrical origins, her experience bringing this classic role to life (and adding her own interpretation to it), and what audiences can expect when they come to see CLUE in Orlando.

Review: CLUE at Ohio Theatre
The script is filled with pratfalls, sight gags, puns and “Dad jokes,” but what makes this play work is the backstory and the personality given to each character and each role contributes something to the plot.
