VIDEO: Mad-Cap Comedy "Clue" Keeps You Guessing


By Jesse North & Dave Tavani, JerseyArts.com

originally published: 02/10/2022

It's a whodunit of hilarity: the stage mystery "Clue" is now playing at Paper Mill Playhouse. Based on the '80s movie and inspired by the classic board game, this killer comedy has all your favorite characters: Mrs. White, Colonel Mustard, and the whole suspicious gang. Join Jesse and Dave in Millburn to talk to the suspects — err — stars of this campy show.

 

The play runs through February 20. Click here for more information or to purchase tickets.  Paper Mill Playhouse is located at 22 Brookside Drive in Millburn, New Jersey.
