Review: CLUE - LIVE ON STAGE! at Curran Theatre
by Steve Murray - October 23, 2024
Not in the mood for more election drama or Mideast War horror? Then this current production of Clue - Live on Stage! might be the remedy. With lightning flashes and an ominous score, a mysterious dinner party at Boddy Manor begins with the arrival of an assortment of guests familiar to anyone who ever played the Parker Brothers board game Clue. Based on the popular game and the 1985 cult film, this delightful production helmed by director Casey Hushion and her talented cast and crew is a visual treat chock full of word puns, slapstick shtick and broad comic caricatures.
