The smash-hit stage production of Cluedo has been brought thrillingly to life in Melbourne. Currently playing at the iconic Comedy Theatre, Cluedo has proven itself to be one of the most entertaining live shows on the city’s cultural calendar.

From the moment the curtain rises, it is clear that this is no ordinary stage adaptation. The show delivers high-energy, non-stop action with no interval, keeping the audience fully immersed in the mystery unfolding inside a grand mansion filled with secrets.

At the heart of the production are the six main characters, each based on the classic Cluedo board game pieces. Every character wears costumes perfectly befitting their name and personality, adding visual flair and nostalgic charm to the performance.

The suspects include:

Each role has been skillfully acted, with the cast hamming up their distinctive personalities to comedic perfection. From dramatic glances to exaggerated accusations, every moment has been played with impeccable timing and infectious energy.

Supporting the chaos and comedy are additional characters including the Cook, the Butler, the Maid, the Host and the Drop-In Driver, all of whom added further layers of humor and confusion to the unfolding mystery.

A MANSION FULL OF SECRETS AND SPECTACULAR SETS    

One of the standout elements of the Melbourne production is its cleverly designed sets. The various rooms of the mansion entered through six doors has been recreated with impressive detail, seamlessly shifting from one location to another as the plot thickens. From shadowy corridors to richly decorated interiors, the staging has elevated the experience beyond a simple stage play.

The dynamic set design, combined with sharp lighting and fast-paced direction, creates the feeling of stepping directly inside the iconic board game. It had been theatrical storytelling at its most inventive.

Having attended a recent performance, I had found myself laughing throughout the evening. The script had been witty and cleverly constructed, filled with rapid-fire dialogue and perfectly timed physical comedy.

The ensemble cast had demonstrated exceptional chemistry, delivering a performance that felt both tightly choreographed and delightfully chaotic. The energy never dipped, and with no interval to interrupt the action, the suspense built steadily towards the grand finale.

Most impressively, I had been kept guessing until the very end as to who the murderer was. Clues had been scattered cleverly throughout the performance, but the final reveal still managed to surprise. The production succeeded in balancing mystery with humour, ensuring that audiences remained both engaged and entertained.
