Murder and blackmail are on the menu when six mysterious guests assemble at Boddy Manor for a night they’ll never forget! Was it Mrs. Peacock in the study with the knife? Or was it Colonel Mustard in the library with the wrench? Based on the cult 1985 Paramount movie and inspired by the classic Hasbro board game, Clue is the ultimate whodunit that will leave you dying of laughter and keep you guessing until the final twist.
There’s no fat to trim here. Director Casey Hushion moves everything along at a steady clip, which is especially impressive in a no-intermission performance. Hushion is also responsible for the strength of the ensemble here—perhaps a difficult line to toe when each individual actor is so stand-out. But ultimately, true to its cardboard-based origins, collaboration is the name of the game in the murder mystery of Clue.
With a crack of thunder, we were immediately transported to 1954 and Boddy Manor. Upon first glance, the sets and visual effects are extremely impressive. I’ve seen many shows at the IU Auditorium and never really understood how they can completely transform the space for a two-show stint. The Boddy Manor itself was opulent, filled with rich mahogany and glittering chandeliers. Like the characters, we in the audience were in awe of the beautiful, yet mysterious atmosphere.
