A Killer Night Out: Cluedo Brings Its Hilarious Whodunnit to Australia in 2026

Cluedo Steps Off the Board and Onto the Stage

Australia is set for a thrilling theatrical event in 2026 as the world’s most beloved murder mystery board game comes to life. Cluedo, the iconic whodunnit that has captivated players for generations, will make its Australian premiere at QPAC in Brisbane in January 2026 before touring to Melbourne, Adelaide and Sydney. This new stage production promises a night of laughter, suspense and clever twists that will keep audiences guessing until the very end.

A Mystery Classic Reimagined for the Stage

Inspired by the much-loved 1985 film Clue and the original Hasbro board game, this fast-paced stage version blends farce, comedy and classic detective drama. More than 150 million Cluedo games have sold across more than 40 countries, cementing its status as one of the highest-selling board games on the planet. Now, Australian theatre-goers can experience the thrill live.

Producer John Frost, known for bringing some of the world’s favourite mysteries to the stage, including The Mousetrap and And Then There Were None, says the show is set to delight audiences. With its legacy as a cult classic film and its enormous global fan base, Cluedo’s arrival in Australia has been highly anticipated.

Classic Characters, New Laughs and Endless Suspense

Audiences will step inside the mysterious Boddy Manor, where eccentric dinner guests gather for an evening that quickly spirals into chaos. Colonel Mustard, Miss Scarlet, Professor Plum, Mrs Peacock, Mr Green and Mrs White all have secrets to protect, but only one of them is a killer. Every clue matters as the story unravels with witty dialogue, physical comedy and delightful surprises.

The show has already enjoyed sell-out seasons in the US and UK, praised for its faithful homage to the board game and its hilarious reinterpretation of the iconic characters. Whether you are a longtime fan or a newcomer to the mystery, Cluedo delivers a night of smart and stylish entertainment.
