Worklight and LME Productions’ Clue, part of the 2025–26 Broadway in Birmingham series at the BJCC Concert Hall, has seven more performances scheduled for Nov. 12–16, 2025. The show is a clever theatrical adaptation of the timeless screwball comedy and classic board game, and it is well worth carving out time to see.

Clue tells the story of six guests lured to Boddy Manor at the height of McCarthy-era fearmongering. They are soon forced to investigate and survive after discovering that there is a killer among them, leaving each to wonder whom they can trust.

While the story holds fast, some of the technical aspects fell short. Lee Savage did an excellent job with the scenic design, and the cast had strong onstage chemistry. The actors truly worked as one.

The sound design by Jeff Human had its shining moments. The booming thunder effects that opened the play made good use of the BJCC’s audio system, but the background music occasionally drowned out the dialogue, particularly that of Adam Brett and Zoie Tannous. Their exaggerated British and French accents, combined with a lack of clear enunciation, made several jokes fall flat simply because the audience could not fully catch what was being said.

A few actors seemed overly eager to deliver their lines, which was especially noticeable with Nate Curlott’s Colonel Mustard. Screwball comedies depend on comedic timing and rapid-fire exchanges, but there were several moments when an actor, in their eagerness, began speaking before a fellow performer had finished.

Lastly, Adam Brett, who played Wadsworth, delivered an adequate performance. He maintained his stamina during the “retracing our steps” scene, but his lack of expressive gestures and omission of the iconic splits during the police distraction scene kept the moment from fully landing. His performance was good, but with those adjustments, it could easily be great.

All in all, Clue—aside from a few critiques—is a solid production and a worthwhile outing for lovers of the game and of theater alike.
