I have seen the musical version of CLUE, and in this instance, I prefer the non-musical version. I found it much easier to follow the dialogue when spoken vs. sung because it is so fast-paced. For an adrenaline rush evening that has audience members laughing throughout, this show is definitely the ticket. I don’t recommend for K-8, only because the double-entendres may fly over their heads.
It's a tough task to adapt a film starring comedic legends like Tim Curry and Madeline Kahn, and the stage show suffers slightly in the inevitable comparison. While the script remains a delight, the production lacked the frantic, over-the-top comedic fire that made the movie a masterpiece. The show is certainly entertaining and the ensemble gives a decent performance, but it simply didn't hold a candle to the film's singular brand of brilliance.
