Mystery, Mayhem and Music Take the Stage in Whodunit "Clue: The Musical" at Kelsey Theatre

The Bear Tavern Project brings classic board game to life in an interactive performance

originally published: 02/27/2026


(WEST WINDSOR, NJ) -- A hilarious murder-mystery comedy, inspired by the Hasbro board game and adapted from the fan-favorite film, comes to the Kelsey Theatre stage when the Bear Tavern Project presents Clue: The Musical, weekends from March 6-15, 2026 on Mercer County Community College's West Windsor Campus.

Board game characters come to life—with murder and blackmail on the menu—when six mysterious guests assemble at Boddy Manor. This interactive whodunit features all of your favorite characters—Colonel Mustard, Professor Plum, and more—as they try to solve a murder with countless possible outcomes.

The Clue franchise began in 1949 with the manufacture of the "Cluedo" board game. Currently owned and published by Hasbro, the game has since sold more than 200 million copies worldwide. A murder-mystery comedy film by Paramount Pictures based on the board game was released in 1985, and has since become a fan-favorite.

The cast, portraying the classic board game characters and more, features Christina Breeman of Bristol, Pa., as Mrs. Peacock; Jeremy Weir of Harleysville, Pa., as Mr. Boddy; Jessa Casner of Pennington, N.J., as Mrs. White; Joseph Cutalo of Titusville, N.J., as Colonel Mustard; Karen Cameron of East Brunswick, N.J., as the Detective; Shawn Simmons of Hamilton, N.J., as Professor Plum; Kelly Regina Falcigno of Hamilton as Miss Scarlet; Jim Morris as Mr. Green, and Susan den Outer of Langhorne, Pa., as The Pianist.

Performances take place Friday, March 6, and Saturday, March 14 at 8:00pm, with matinee performances Saturdays, March 7 and March 14, and Sundays, March 8 and March 15 at 2:00pm. In addition, there will be a special daytime performance on Wednesday, March 11 at 10:00am. All performances are at the Kelsey Theatre on Mercer County Community College's West Windsor Campus, 1200 Old Trenton Road.
