Looking for a fun night out?

Here’s a clue — you may have to travel back in time to 1954 in New England.

When I discovered that “Clue” was coming to The Dr. Phillips Center, it immediately gave me a sense of nostalgia. As a child of the 80s, my summer breaks were filled with hours of board games, specifically Clue and Monopoly.

“Clue: Live on Stage” offers a night of plot twists and turns to the very end. It’s a fast-paced, high-energy 90 minutes of comedy, confusion, and murder mystery. Be prepared to stay in your seat, as you won’t want to miss a minute and there is no intermission.

This Broadway series show transforms the gorgeous Walt Disney Theater into Boddy Manor, “a mansion of epic proportions and terrifying secrets.”

The quick set changes make you feel like you are maneuvering through secret passages in a real-life mansion. The casting director deserves an award as each actor slayed their performance. The antics of Col. Mustard, Miss Scarlet, Mrs. Peacock, Mrs. White, Mr. Green, and Professor Plum kept the audience engaged and laughing as they tried to figure out who was a killer among them.

When I found out “Clue” was coming to Orlando, I immediately purchased the game for my boys and it became an instant family favorite in our household.

My family has not seen the 1985 “Clue” movie, but friends of mine who were also in the audience tell me the play was almost line for a line similar to the film. If your family loved the movie, they’ll probably love the play, too!
