CLUE ON STAGE REVIEWS
CLUE ON STAGE was performed May 2 - May 20, 2017 at the Bucks County Playhouse, New Hope, PA
“Clue: On Stage is an athletic, uproarious 90-minute sprint.”
“The maniacal ensemble... (is) a well-honed team with impeccable timing...”
“Fast, furious, funny, with a great set and ensemble.”
“The new play Clue: On Stage, a zippy farce based on the
board game and the 1985 film, set a record Wednesday
at the Bucks County Playhouse for most tickets sold by one show in one day.”
--John Timpane
The Philadelphia Inquirer, 5/11/17
“...a delightful screwball lark, thanks to a sparkling cast, high production values, and oodles of comic energy.”
“...a dizzy, stimulating joy that makes it a whole lot of fun. It’s a game that’s definitely worth playing.”
--Tim Dunleavy
DC Metro Theater Arts, 5/10/17
"For Clue’s world premiere stage piece, (Jonathan)
Lynn’s script was adapted and updated by Eric Price
and (Hunter) Foster. As crafters of snappy one-liners,
cunning double entendres, and great comebacks to
great set-ups, Lynn, Price, and Foster did an admirable
job. (Carson) Elrod, (Sally) Struthers, and castmates Erin
Dilly, Cassandra Dupler, Claire Simba, and William Youmans make the most of the dialogue they are given, and that
dialogue crackles."

“Clue kills the audience with laughter every night at
Bucks County Playhouse in New Hope.”
"The show is delightful.”
“It is a snappy, well-choreographed murderous romp,
that imaginatively draws you in as the bodies fly hither
and yon and pile up on the couch. This comedy-mystery
is filled with chase scenes and stylized performances
that one might expect from a melding of Agatha Christie
and the Marx Brothers. The dialogue is fast paced and
cornball. The performances are broad and hilarious.
This is a true ensemble and the…timing…is…everything.”
“This is an ensemble show and all of the cast is equally impressive.”
“Come to Mr. Boddy’s dinner party. It’s mystery, it’s
farce, it’s vaudeville. And the winner of the night is you,
if you are game enough to buy a ticket to see this very
original and cleverly funny Clue. I’m dead serious.”
--John Dwyer
New Hope Free Press, 5/11/17
“Based on the screenplay by Jonathan Lynn, this new incarnation on the stage is smart, funny, and a visual
treat to behold.”
“Also present in the house are the beautiful maid,
Colette, the cook, Mrs. Solyanka (Cassandra Dupler),
and the inevitable butler, Wadsworth. They are as
colorful as their guests.”
“The principals travel from room to room, usually led by Wadsworth (Carson Elrod). What a talent he is! But then,
so are each and every member of this talented cast.”
“Go. Laugh. Enjoy the privilege of seeing the first round
of a new play that’s sure to become a staple in American theater.”
