‘Clue, The Musical’ opens Nov. 6 at Saginaw’s Pit & Balcony Theatre: six shows over two weekends, $20 tickets and 216 possible endings
SAGINAW — Was it Colonel Mustard in the library with the candlestick? At Pit & Balcony Theatre this month, the audience helps decide.
The community theater in Saginaw’s Old Town opens “Clue, The Musical” on Friday, Nov. 6, for a two-weekend run, according to the theater. Tickets are $20.
The schedule has six performances: 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 6, Saturday, Nov. 7, and Friday, Nov. 13, plus 3 p.m. matinees on Sunday, Nov. 8, Saturday, Nov. 14, and Sunday, Nov. 15.
The show is based on the Parker Brothers board game. Before the mystery is solved, three audience members pick from cards representing the possible murderers, weapons and rooms, so the solution changes from night to night, the theater says. With 216 combinations built into the script, no two performances are guaranteed to end the same way. Audience members also get forms to track clues and try to work out the answer as the show goes.
A hard-nosed detective leads the investigation into who killed Mr. Boddy, and the theater promises a twist even after the culprit confesses. The musical has a book by Peter DePietro, music by Galen Blum, Wayne Barker and Vinnie Martucci, and lyrics by Tom Chiodo.
Todd Thomas directs a cast of local performers, MLive reported: Dale Peters as Professor Plum, Melony Lamar as Ms. Green, Amariah Talley as Colonel Mustard, Janessa McIntosh as Miss Scarlet, Joy Howell as Mrs. Peacock, Hayden Sparks as Mrs. White, Matthew Howe as Mr. Boddy and Terri Weitze as the Detective. Lionwood Creations is the production sponsor.
Pit & Balcony is at 805 N. Hamilton St. Tickets are sold at pitandbalconytheatre.com, and the box office number listed by the theater is 989-754-6587.
The theater’s website lists “Clue” in a season that also includes “The Girl on the Train,” “Native Gardens” and “Rumors.”
With matinees on both Sundays and a Saturday afternoon, it is an easy pick for families looking for something to do in Saginaw before the holiday season gets busy.
