The Clue game is familiar to many families, having been around as a board game for about 70 years. The musical is based on the game and opens as a murder has been discovered at an elegant mansion. Several colorful suspects are present at the mansion when the murder is committed.

The crime is investigated and ultimately solved by a detective, but the ending is different for every performance and is determined by cards drawn by audience members. The cards choose the murderer, murder weapon, and the location of the murder.....an interactive feature which prevents a predictable outcome.

The musical, based on the popular board game which was first marketed by Parker Brothers in 1949, has numerous possible solutions, each one involving a different murderer, weapon, and location. Was it Miss Scarlet in the library with a candlestick, Colonel Mustard in the kitchen with a knife? The possibilities are intriguing and the solution to the crime can't be predicted.

The musical has some adult situations and language and is not recommended for young children.
