A mansion. A murder. A mystery.

This summer, murder and blackmail are on the menu when six mysterious guests assemble at Boddy Manor for a night they’ll never forget! Was it Mrs. Peacock in the study with the knife? Or was it Colonel Mustard in the library with the wrench? Based on the fan favorite 1985 Paramount Pictures movie and inspired by the classic Hasbro board game, Clue is the ultimate whodunit that will leave you dying of laughter and keep you guessing until the final twist.

We are so excited to see Clue when it comes to Calgary this summer! The movie was a cult classic, and the board game was a New Years Eve favourite growing up. “It’s very exciting for me personally,” says TJ Lamando, who plays Mr. Green in the travelling production. “I've loved the movie since I was a kid. It’s fun to talk to fans after the show about who they played in the board game and if they’ve seen the movie. It’s been very gratifying for sure.”

The stage production is a high-energy spectacle with lots of physical comedy. “It’s definitely exhausting,” says Lamando, “But it’s such a blast to be more physically on my feet in the show. I like being on my toes and having that energy moving through my body. It keeps the momentum going throughout the show.”

The cast relies on each other for a lot of the scenes, but also on the set itself. “There’s a lot of physical moments that rely on the set,” says Lamando. This can be difficult with a travelling play, since the set is taken down and reconstructed at each location, keeping in mind the subtle differences between each theatre. “We have something that’s called a transition rehearsal where we hit moments where actors interact with the set in that theatre. We go through safety protocols to see how everything reacts, and to make sure the speed of the props feels safe.”

One of our favourite memories of the movie is the multiple endings. When asked, Lamando said he wouldn’t spoil it for us, but he did say, “Theres a nod to that moment in the movie for sure. Movie fans are going to be excited about certain moments at the end.”

Working in a travelling production can be tough, but Lamando says he likes to go for a 30-minute walk to get the lay of the land and to see how people are living in that city. “Is it a ghost town or are people more active in a certain area. You get to see the heart of a city. The benefit of getting to tour North America is you get to see the life of each city and each town that we we’re in.”

Clue comes to the Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium from July 12 to 16, 2026. Get your tickets before they sell out!
