LONDON, July 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Broadway Licensing
Global is opening licensing availability for the highly-anticipated
play, Cluedo, based on the popular Hasbro board game and the
Paramount Pictures motion picture, Clue. Known as
Clue in the United States,
Cluedo is the title used in the United Kingdom. The play, based on the
screenplay by Jonathan Lynn, is
written by Sandy Rustin, with
additional material by Hunter
Foster, Eric Price, and
Mark Bell.
"For several years, BLG has worked with creatives like Lively
McCabe and Hasbro to build interest in the United States by creating a US-version of
the play, Clue: On Stage," says Ted
Chapin, chief executive officer for BLG. First released to
the non-professional marketplace—schools and community
theatres—Clue: On Stage has become the most licensed play
across all US-based high schools for the last four consecutive
years, according to the Educational Theatre Association. The
sustained success of non-professional interest in the title has
since sparked a major professional national tour of the play, which
is now in progress throughout the United
States.
"Along with partners The Araca Group and Work Light Productions,
we are thrilled for our friends at BLG to roll out Cluedo to
the UK and internationally this year," said Michael Barra, CEO of Lively McCabe
Entertainment. "Audiences can expect a laugh a minute, while
sorting out WHO the killer is, WHERE the murder occurred, and with
WHAT weapon the deed was done."
With its intriguing storyline, comedic intelligence, and strong
brand recognition, Cluedo is expected to become a heavily
licensed play across the UK and Europe. In October 2023, as previously reported, BLG
announced its ongoing global expansion with the opening of a new
office, in the West End theatre district of London, as a center of operations for its
growing UK and European business.
