Review: CLUE at Ohio Theatre

- Apr 10, 2024
The script is filled with pratfalls, sight gags, puns and “Dad jokes,” but what makes this play work is the backstory and the personality given to each character and each role contributes something to the plot.
Review: CLUE at Kauffman Center
by Alan Portner
- Apr 4, 2024
Three quarters of a century following its first North American game release, a top-quality touring play version of “Clue, A New Comedy” has appeared set in a mansion located in suburban Washington, D.C. At the risk of sounding like a bad horror novel or even worse “B” movie, all the action takes place in a spooky mansion on a dark and stormy night. This is not the first attempt to leverage the popular game into other venues.

- Mar 1, 2024
What did our critic think of CLUE at Orpheum Theatre Minneapolis? Murder and blackmail take center stage as six mysterious guests convene at Boddy Manor for a night packed with suspense!

Drawing inspiration from the cult 1985 Paramount movie and the classic Hasbro board game, 'Clue' delivers the ultimate whodunit experience, guaranteed to have you in stitches and on the edge of your seat until the final twist

Page and Paulus' Revival of 1776 Offers a New Perspective on The Birth Of A Nation
by Jeffrey Ellis
- Jun 22, 2023
Imagine walking into Jackson Hall on opening night, as I did, thinking, “Why did the directors reimagine this pleasant, if somewhat plodding, old-school musical with an ensemble of multi-ethnic women, trans and non-binary actors cast in the roles of America’s founding fathers?” Then leaving the theater after the final curtain wondering, “why on earth would anyone ever feel the need to cast the roles with men?” and reveling in the fact that 1776 tapped into my heart in unexpected ways, eliciting an emotional and, I daresay, patriotic response.
Review: 1776 at Ahmanson Theatre
by Evan Henerson
- Apr 17, 2023
What did our critic think of 1776 at Ahmanson Theatre? In contemporary theater - as in life - optics matter. A lot. Given current trends in theatrical programing, the musical 1776 would probably never get staged. Granted, Sherman Edwards and Peter Stone's 1969 take on the sturm and drang surrounding the Second Continental Congress's decision to form a new nation may be a patriotic Tony Award-winner.
