Photos: Opening Night of CLUE at The John W. Engeman Theater

The John W. Engeman Theater's production of CLUE is now open, and BroadwayWorld was there to capture the festivities. See photos from the opening celebration below!

Based on the iconic 1985 Paramount movie inspired by the classic Hasbro board game, CLUE is a hilarious farce-meets-murder mystery. The tale begins at a remote mansion, where six mysterious guests assemble for an unusual dinner party where murder and blackmail are on the menu. When their host turns up dead, they all become suspects. CLUE is the comedy whodunit that will leave you in stitches as they try to figure out…WHO did it, WHERE, and with WHAT!
