YSU’s University Theatre is thrilled to introduce the cast of our upcoming production of “Clue the Musical”! 🎭

Based on the classic board game, this musical comedy brings Mr. Boddy's murder to the stage as all of the suspects sing, dance, and scheme their way through a night of secrets at Boddy Manor. Audience members help determine whodunit, so no two performances end the same way.

Can you crack the case? Find out when “Clue: The Musical” takes the stage November 13 – 15 and 20 – 22, in Ford Theater, located in Bliss Hall. 🔍

Showtimes are Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are available at ysu.tix.com, and YSU student tickets are free with a valid student ID! 🐧
