Show information:
The internationally popular game turned musical which brings the world's best known suspects to life and invites the audience to help solve the mystery: who killed Mr. Boddy, in what room and with what weapon. The audience receives forms to help them deduce the solution from clues given throughout the fun filled evening. Three audience members choose from cards representing the potential murderers, weapons and rooms; there are 216 possible solutions! Only one hardnosed female detective is qualified to unravel the merry mayhem. Comic antics, witty lyrics and a beguiling score carry the investigation from room to room.
The show requires a cast of 8 (5male, 3 Female) who are both strong actors and singers with exceptional improvisational skills. As this show involves large amounts of audience interaction and 216 possible endings it is essential that we have performers with a flair for improvisation and with exceptional comedic ability. There will be a particular focus on making each one of these characters larger than life. Performers with a background in pantomime are strongly encouraged to audition.
