Cluedo

Cluedo, the game of whodunnit that’s gripped generations has stepped off the board and onto the stage! The much-loved play will have its Australian premiere at Playhouse Theatre, QPAC from January 7 to February 1, 2026.

Based on the fan-favourite 1985 Paramount Pictures movie, Clue and inspired by the classic Hasbro board game that is the 5th highest selling board game of all time, Cluedo is the ultimate whodunnit that will leave you dying of laughter and keep you guessing until the final twist.

Audiences will join the suspicious and slightly eccentric dinner guests Colonel Mustard, Miss Scarlett, Professor Plum, Mrs Peacock, Reverend Green and Mrs White as they arrive at Boddy Manor for a night they’ll never forget! Was it Mrs. Peacock in the study with the knife? Or was it Professor Plum in the library with the wrench? One thing’s certain, everyone has something to hide.

The Australian cast includes Octavia Barron-Martin, Rachael Beck, Laurence Boxhall, Lib Campbell, Olivia Deeble, David James, Nat Jobe, Genevieve Lemon, Joshua Monaghan, Adam Murphy and Grant Piro.

Cluedo - also known as Clue in the US - has played on stage in the US and the UK to great success and sell out shows. The film Clue is regarded as a cherished cult classic and featured a stellar cast including Tim Curry, Lesley Ann Warren, Christopher Lloyd and Madeleine Kahn.

Cluedo is directed by Luke Joslin, who most recently directed the critically acclaimed and sell-out production of Grease for Crossroads Live, and Lin-Manuel Miranda’s In The Heights, which recently completed a successful season at the Comedy Theatre in Melbourne.

This fast-paced, farcical comedy-thriller is a killer night of entertainment for fans of the board game, lovers of classic mysteries, and anyone who enjoys a good laugh with their larceny.

So grab your trench coat, channel your inner detective, and prepare for an evening of deadly fun!
