“Clue” – The Stage Production

“Clue” The Movie

I loved the movie “Clue”. I was watching it the other day and thought to myself, this would be an amazing stage production. If you haven’t seen it yet, make sure you do. The beauty about it was that there were three different endings. If I did it as a stage production, I’d come up with a couple more and surprise the audience with which ending would be played out each night.

Now the big question: Who should play what roles? I believe the original cast for this was absolutely stellar, but if I were to do this today, I’m not sure who I would get to play each role. At least a couple of the cast members are no longer with us, including the amazing Madelaine Khan.

 

Here are a couple of suggestions:

Wadsworth:

Col. Mustard: Philip Seymour Hoffman

Miss Scarlett: Tricia Helfer

Prof. Plum: Rupert Everett

Mrs. White:

Ms. Peacock:

Mr. Green:

Who would you pick?

If you got a tattoo, what would it be?

Japanese Calligraphy for peace: "Heiwa"

If you got a tattoo, what would it be?

I’ve always said there is nothing that I would put on my body that I could honestly keep for the rest of my life. Having seen how some people frivolously put tattoos on their body, such as a boy/girlfriend’s name, even husband or wife, and then within a few years it’s over. To me, nothing is forever.

But, this is a hypothetical discussion, so here it is. The one thing that I could possibly think of that I would be willing to put on my body is the symbol for peace in Japanese calligraphy, “Heiwa”. For those who don’t know, the Hindi name, Shanti means “peace”. The derivation of that, Shanta, means “peaceful”. It sounds a little self-serving/selfish, but the only thing that I could honestly rely on and know through and through, is me. There are people for whom I would lay my life on the line, but those people have changed. One can never know what events might change who they are and what might cause the change. Why Japanese? Simple: I’ve always loved the Orient and I am a student of martial arts.

In addition, the bigger picture is that I believe that we come from our roots. This is a great symbol of my grandmother, whom I wrote about in a previous post. I know that I can be combative at times, but I usually get riled up when I believe that there is some injustice. Ultimately, I want peace. I might sound much like a beauty pageant contestant, but it’s true. I believe that in order to survive, we all need to get along. As my friend Dan Levy (@TheDanLevy) said: “/rant”
