LOS ANGELES, CA (July 29, 2026)—Center Theatre Group presents CLUE, the hilarious
murder mystery comedy inspired by the board game and adapted from Paramount
Pictures’ wildly popular film. The second North American tour will play Los Angeles at the
Ahmanson Theatre September 8 to 12 for seven performances only.
Tickets for CLUE are available through CenterTheatreGroup.org, Audience Services at
(213) 972-4400 or in person at the Center Theatre Group Box Offices (at the Ahmanson
Theatre) at The Music Center, 135 N. Grand Avenue in Downtown L.A. 90012.
Producers Work Light Productions and LME Productions are pleased to announce full
casting for the Second North American tour. The cast includes Sarah Mackenzie Baron as
the Mrs. White, Adam Brett as Wadsworth, Camille Capers as Miss Scarlet, Nate Curlott as
Colonel Mustard, Joseph Dalfonso as Mr. Boddy and others, TJ Lamando as Mr. Green,
Madeline Raube as Mrs. Peacock, AT Sanders as The Cook and others, Zoie Tannous as
Yvette, Kebron Woodfin as the Cop and others, and Kyle Yampiro as Professor Plum. The
understudies are Thomas Netter, Allison Masulis, Taylor Tveten, and Layne Roate.
Led by Broadway Director Casey Hushion (Associate Director of Mean Girls and The Prom,
Associate Resident Director of Aladdin, choreography for the Netflix series Unbreakable
Kimmy Schmidt), 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 fan-
favorite 1985 Paramount Pictures 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.
The year is 1954, and on a rainy, windswept night, six strangers gather at a remote manor
at the invitation of its owner, Mr. Boddy. The reason they’ve been assembled isn’t clear,
but when Mr. Boddy turns up dead, they must band together to solve the crime. As the
butler leads them around the manor in the hunt for clues, the guests soon discover that
each of them have a motive for committing the murder. But who was it, and how many of
them will meet the same fate as Mr. Boddy before the killer is unmasked?
CLUE 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 production also features scenic design by Lee Savage, costume design by Jen Caprio,
lighting design by Ryan J. O’Gara, sound design by Jeff Human with hair, wig & makeup
design by J. Jared Janas. CLUE is associate directed by Saki Kawamura, with fight
choreography by Robert Westley. Casting is by Whitley Theatrical. The Production Stage
Manager is Jenna Wadleigh and the Company Manager is Laurence Christopher.
The CLUE franchise began in 1949 with the manufacture of the ‘Cluedo’ board game.
Currently owned and published by Hasbro, the game has since sold more than 200 million
copies worldwide. A murder-mystery comedy film by Paramount Pictures based on the
board game was released in 1985 and developed a passionate fanbase that continues to
grow more than 35 years later.
CLUE is back for more after a successful run at the Ahmanson in 2024. CLUE is the
ultimate whodunit that will leave you dying of laughter and keep you guessing until the final
twist.
“Fast, furious, funny.”— Philadelphia Inquirer
“Wildly fun, murderously silly, and totally engaging.” — Kids Out and About
“Clue is the rare sort of show that should get a laugh from audiences of all generations.” — WPRO
Charles McNulty in the Los Angeles Times said, “I’m happy to report that Clue: Live on
Stage! earns its exclamation point through the breathless exuberance of its physical
comedy. Everything about the show is brisk. The dizzying pacing, the litany of hapless
jokes, the all-out slapstick and the familiar shtick. Even when the cast members are
running in place to simulate a chase, there is a gust of frenzy. I appreciated the zany
commitment and indefatigable exertion of a company dedicated to the worthy cause of
mindless fun.”
Juan A. Ramírez in The New York Times called it, “A very fun whodunit that strikes
contemporary parallels on the way to its grand reveal. As those left standing rush to blame
one another, in different possible scenarios, they mirror our own increasingly selfish desire
to think of our perception as being the correct one. Like the board game, and life itself, the
play winds up making only one perception true — but thank goodness this one’s fun.”
Patrick Maley wrote in NJ.com, “Hammy acting. Shameless clichés. Plenty of punchlines
… with a ton of laughs. Genuinely fun! ‘Clue’ operates with speed and precision … with a
rapidity that leaves audiences barely enough time to catch their breath between. A wild,
wonderful night at the theater.”
Maureen Lee Lenker in Entertainment Weekly wrote, “A farce served up for audiences with
murderous glee. It’s funny and frothy and light, the kind of breezy night at the theater that
most audiences would kill for right now.”
Hayley Levitt said in Theatermania, “Reminds you what a breezy night of pure
entertainment feels like. Synchronized door slams, pratfalls, and wide-eyed gasps should
all be on your murder mystery bingo card … happily hums along with no sign of the
exertion it takes to make this brand of comedy look utterly effortless. They all roam
through set designer Lee Savage’s luscious rendering of Boddy Manor, with surprise
portals to more iconic ‘Clue’ rooms than you would ever think could fit onstage.”
And Steven Stanley wrote in Stage Scene LA, “Delish! Audiences craving a cure for the
summertime blues need look no further than Clue live on stage, eighty minutes of nonstop
whodunit hilarity. Clue doesn’t just guarantee the proverbial laugh a minute. Expect a new
one to arrive every ten seconds or so in the most hilarious hit the Ahmanson has offered
audiences since last summer’s Peter Pan Goes Wrong.”
Originally produced at Bucks County Playhouse, New Hope, Pennsylvania, Alexander
Fraser, Robyn Goodman, Josh Fiedler, Producers. Developed by Cleveland Playhouse,
Laura Kepley, Artistic Director & Kevin Moore, Managing Director.
