Get ready to dust off your magnifying glass and brush up on your alibis—Cluedo, the beloved murder mystery board game turned cult-classic film, is set to hit Australian stages in 2026 in a brand-new theatrical production. This hilarious and fast-paced stage adaptation promises mystery, mischief, and mayhem with every twist and turn.
Kicking off its national tour at QPAC Playhouse Theatre in Brisbane in January 2026, Cluedo The Play will then travel to Melbourne, Adelaide, and Sydney throughout the year. It’s a must-see for lovers of the board game, fans of classic murder mysteries, and theatre-goers looking for a wildly entertaining night out.
A cult classic reimagined for the stage
Based on the fan-favourite 1985 Paramount Pictures film Clue and inspired by the iconic Hasbro board game, Cluedo brings the suspense and silliness of a murder mystery to vivid life on stage. The play has already enjoyed successful runs in the US and UK, where it won over audiences with its clever writing, slapstick humour, and classic whodunnit intrigue.Audiences will step into the eerie halls of Boddy Manor, where eccentric guests with colourful names—Colonel Mustard, Miss Scarlet, Professor Plum, Mrs Peacock, Mr Green, and Mrs White—gather for a dinner party with deadly consequences. Every character has a secret. Every room holds a clue. And every weapon is a suspect.
Expect laughter, larceny, and a whole lot of guessing
This farcical comedy-thriller will have you dying of laughter one moment and suspicious of everyone the next. Was it Mrs Peacock in the study with the knife? Or Colonel Mustard in the library with the wrench? With plenty of misdirection, outrageous antics, and a surprise ending, Cluedo is pure theatrical fun.Producer John Frost, known for bringing some of the world’s greatest mysteries to Australian stages, is confident that audiences will fall in love with this new production. “We know audiences love a murder mystery,” he said, “and with Cluedo being one of the world’s best-selling board games, I know Australia will delight in seeing the mystery played out live on stage.”
