Scarlet, Plum, White, Green, Peacock, and Mustard are coming to Helena, and one of them did it. The stage adaptation of the classic board game Clue is scheduled to perform in Helena, bringing its fast-paced whodunit format to a local audience that grew up rolling dice and accusing neighbors in the conservatory.
The production puts six characters with plenty to hide in a mansion full of secrets, with the story shifting as alliances form and unravel. Unlike the board game's static setup, the live version is designed to move quickly — the kind of show where the audience is working through suspects even as the actors are still laying clues. It's billed as comedic as much as theatrical, leaning into the absurdity of the source material while keeping the mystery intact.
Venue and specific performance dates were not fully detailed in available listings, but the show has been flagged in local event calendars for mid-October. Helena theatergoers looking for something a little lighter before the holidays — and anyone who has ever argued about whether it was Colonel Mustard in the library — will find this one worth tracking down.
