"Cleveland Play House is excited to welcome back this group of wildly talented performers who thrilled audiences last season in our hit show Clue: A New Comedy," says CPH Artistic Director Laura Kepley. "Not only are they hilarious, but they are also some of the best musical theater talent in the country." She continues, "This is a not-to-be-missed evening of laughs that could not come at a better time."

Kepley sings the praises of writer Sandy Rustin and director Casey Hushion, "the two powerhouse women responsible for the success of last year's box office hit. With CLUEbaret, they have crafted an utterly delightful and ridiculous virtual evening that Will Bond us together in laughter even though we are miles apart."

"It has been a delight to revisit the world of CLUE in this fun, engaging new format to help benefit CPH during this challenging time," stated Ms. Rustin, continuing, "The opportunity to support CPH, collaborate with Casey, and bask in the glow of these performers again, has been a WIN-WIN! It's the next best thing to being in the same room together again! I am grateful to CPH for actively seeking out 'the next best thing' - and bringing me on board to be a part of it!"
