Show Synopsis
The internationally popular game is now a fun-filled musical that brings the world’s best-known suspects to life and invites the audience to help solve the mystery: who killed Mr. Boddy, in what room, and with what weapon. The audience receives forms to help them deduce the solution from clues given throughout the fun-filled evening. Three audience members choose from cards representing the potential murderers, weapons, and rooms; there are 216 possible solutions! Only one hard-nosed female detective is qualified to unravel the merry mayhem. Comic antics, witty lyrics, and a beguiling score carry the investigation from room to room. Even after the culprit confesses, a surprise twist delights the audience.
CLUE: THE MUSICAL is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals. www.concordtheatricals.com
Audition Requirement
If you would like to check out the script or vocal book before auditions, please contact [email protected]. You’ll need to schedule a time to come to our rehearsal annex/office in Edmonds prior to our office closing on December 21 for the holidays.
Acting and improvisational skills should be highlighted in your audition.
Monologue: Be prepared with a contemporary comedic monologue, approximately one minute in length. You may be asked to repeat your monologue or an element of your monologue in the audition process.
Song: Be prepared to sing 32 bars (approximately one minute) of a song from the show of your choice for a specific character. We will email all auditioning actors a link to review sheet music and a piano recording of the audition cuts in preparation for your audition. A live accompanist will be provided at auditions. Your performance should include storytelling and character choices. Your choice of character to sing for will not exclude you from being considered for other roles.
The link to these materials is expected to be distributed by December 23, and then every couple of days thereafter for any new signups.
Headshot and Resume: The headshot does not need to be professionally made – a well-lit selfie is perfectly fine. The resume should be one page and list any special talents you have.
Uploading your headshot and resume will be required on the audition survey. Please name your documents LastName FirstName-Headshot & LastName FirstName-Resume.
Dialects: All characters can be portrayed with an American dialect, but if you envision a character with a specific dialect, please prepare your audition monologue using the same dialect. Mrs. White could have a Cockney dialect; Colonel Mustard could have a Southern American English or Standard British dialect.
