Clue – The Beloved Family Favorite Returns to the Stage in St. Louis’s Fabulous Fox Theater
BROADWAY IN ST. LOUIS • FABULOUS FOX
Murder Has Never Looked This Funny: Clue Comes to the Fabulous Fox
The board game and cult movie become a fast-moving stage mystery packed with suspicious guests, secret passages and increasingly ridiculous accusations.
A mansion. Six suspicious guests. Several weapons. One very inconvenient dead body. Clue turns the Hasbro board game and the beloved 1985 movie into an intentionally ridiculous stage mystery built around rapid entrances, physical comedy and escalating accusations.
The familiar characters are all present—Colonel Mustard, Mrs. Peacock, Professor Plum and company—but the attraction is not simply discovering who committed the crime. The stage version plays with the machinery of murder mysteries while simultaneously making fun of it.
The Fox lists the production at roughly 80 minutes with no intermission, making it one of the leaner touring shows on the season. That quick pace should suit material that depends on timing, surprise and the audience barely having enough time to process one joke before the next clue arrives.
WAVKLB Take
Do not go expecting heavy drama. Go expecting an elaborate live-action game night with professional comic timing. When Clue works, the question is not merely “Who did it?” but whether the cast can keep everyone laughing fast enough to stop them from figuring it out.
Dates and production information: The Fabulous Fox Theatre. Schedule and availability may change; confirm performance details with the presenting theater before publication.
