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.

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 went on to achieve cult classic status with a passionate fanbase. 

 

The North American tour of CLUE is produced by The Araca Group, Work Light Productions, Lively McCabe Entertainment, and Aged in Wood.
