CLUEDO play final cast revealed

The Australian cast has been revealed today for the premiere of Cluedo, the world’s favourite murder mystery board game which is coming to life on Australian stages from January 2026.

 

 

The cast for the game of whodunnit that’s gripped generations will include Octavia Barron Martin (Les Misérables) as the Cook, Rachael Beck (Beauty and the Beast, The Sound of Music) as Mrs White, Laurence Boxhall (Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap) as Mr Green, Lib Campbell (The 39 Steps) as Yvette, Olivia Deeble (Home & Away, Little Lunch) as Miss Scarlet, David James (Sound of Music, Muriel’s Wedding) as Professor Plum, Nat Jobe (Shrek the Musical, Aladdin) as Bobby, Genevieve Lemon (The Piano, Sister Act), as Mrs Peacock, Joshua Monaghan (Bell Shakespeare’s Coriolanus) as Mr Boddy, Rhys Muldoon (House Husbands, Rake) as Colonel Mustard, and Grant Piro (Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None) in the role of Wadsworth.

Based on the fan-favourite 1985 Paramount Pictures movie, Clue and inspired by the classic Hasbro board game that is the 5th highest selling board game of all time, Cluedo is the ultimate whodunnit that will leave you dying of laughter and keep you guessing until the final twist.

 

 

Tickets for the much-loved play are on sale for performances at Brisbane’s QPAC in January, Comedy Theatre in Melbourne in February 2026, Her Majesty’s Theatre in Adelaide from March and Theatre Royal Sydney from April 2026.

Cluedo will be directed by Luke Joslin, who most recently directed the critically acclaimed and sell-out production of Grease for Crossroads Live, and Lin-Manuel Miranda’s In The Heights, which recently completed a successful season at the Comedy Theatre in Melbourne.

Cluedo – also known as Clue in the US – has played on stage in the US and the UK to great success and sell out shows.

 

 

The film Clue is regarded as a cherished cult classic and featured a stellar cast including Tim Curry, Lesley Ann Warren, Christopher Lloyd and Madeleine Kahn.

Audiences will join the suspicious and slightly eccentric dinner guests Mr Green, Colonel Mustard, Mrs Peacock, Professor Plum, Miss Scarlet and Mrs White as they arrive at Boddy Manor for a night they’ll never forget! Was it Mrs. Peacock in the study with the knife? Or was it Professor Plum in the library with the wrench? One thing’s certain, everyone has something to hide.

 

 

This fast-paced, farcical comedy-thriller is a killer night of entertainment for fans of the board game, lovers of classic mysteries, and anyone who enjoys a good laugh with their larceny.

Grab your trench coat, channel your inner detective, and prepare for an evening of deadly fun!
