New stage comedy Cluedo 2 – The Next Chapter has announced initial casting for its forthcoming UK tour.

Coronation Street’s Helen Flanagan is set to star as Miss Scarlett, with TV and West End leading man Jason Durr (Heartbeat, Casualty) as Colonel Mustard.

Further casting will be announced for the show.

This world premiere production is based on the classic Hasbro boardgame and written by award-winning comedy writers Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran (Birds of a Feather, Goodnight Sweetheart), and directed by Mark Bell (The Play That Goes Wrong).

This hilarious spoof whodunnit has a new story set in the 60s, and features a cast of Cludeo characters including The Honourable Mrs. Emerald Peacock, Colonel Eugene Mustard, ‘Professor’ Alex Plum, Miss Annabel Scarlett, ‘The Reverend’ Hal Green and the housekeeper Mrs White.

The five month UK tour starts at Richmond Theatre on 29 February 2024 and visits venues includes Woking, York, Brighton, Cambridge, Salford, Hull, Milton Keynes, Shrewsbury, Malvern, Bath, Sheffield, Nottingham, Newcastle, Glasgow, Southampton, Cardiff, Norwich, Truro, Cheltenham, Birmingham and Dartford.

Actor Jason Durr said in a statement: “I’m thrilled to be joining the cast of Cluedo 2 as Colonel Mustard. I was a huge fan of the Cluedo board game as a child and the Colonel is such a great character. I am looking forward to bringing laughter and this ultimate whodunnit to audiences across the UK in its 75th anniversary year.”

Actor Helen Flanagan said: “I’ve long been looking for the right theatre role for ages and I’m so excited to be making my stage acting debut in the iconic role of Miss Scarlett. It could not be more perfect! Cluedo 2 is going to be so much fun and I am thrilled to be working alongside such a great actor as Jason. I can’t wait to begin rehearsals in the New Year, and, of course, wear the famous red dress!

Cluedo 2 – The Next Chapter is produced by JAS Theatricals, Gabriel Creative Partners, The Araca Group and Lively McCabe Entertainment.
