The Orpheum at Foxboro Presents “Clue"

The Orpheum at Foxboro is presenting “Clue", a fun and lively adaptation of the board game classic. Directed by Steve Dooner, this wild spoof of murder mystery plays one weekend only at the Orpheum Theatre, Foxboro, May 12th-15th 2011.

There’s more than meets the eye at Hill House. Professor Plum, Colonel Mustard, Miss Scarlet, and Mrs. White all gather when they find out that Mr. Body is blackmailing each of them. They’re even more surprised when they’re each given a weapon and he tells them they should kill Wadsworth, the butler, to avoid being exposed. When the lights go out, the group of characters finds themselves tangled in a web of murder, lies, and hilarity.

Was it Colonel Mustard in the study with a gun? Miss Scarlet in the billiard room with the rope? Or was it Wadsworth the butler? Based on the classic board game, Clue has a cast of vamps, femme fatales, detectives, crooks and one very sinister butler.  Meet all the notorious suspects and discover all their foul play things. You'll love their dastardly doings as the bodies and the laughs pile up before your eyes. 

The mysteriously mischievous cast of characters include Courtney Woods (Cranston, RI) as Miss Scarlet,  Marianne Phinney (Walpole, MA) as Mrs. Peacock (DASH Best Actress Award winner for role as Rose Arnott in Enchanted April), Jack Ferdman (Foxboro, MA) as Mr. Green, Craig Lampert-Soto (Mansfield, MA) as Professor Plum  (most recently played Antonio in 12th Night and Ross in Macbeth), Margaret Kelly (Abington) as Mrs. White, Bill Roberts (Norfolk, MA) as Colonel Mustard (recent performances include Oscar Madison in “The Odd Couple,” and Ciaphas in “Jesus Christ Superstar”),  Crystal Ferdman (Foxboro, MA) as Yvette, Brian London (Westwood, MA) as the Evangelist,  Jessica Corey (Weymouth, A) Mrs. Ho, Ben Stamper (Sharon, MA) as the Cop and Matthew Maggio (Quincy) as Mr. Wadsworth.
