What To Expect At Auditions
Be prepared to read for multiple characters from a selection of monologues and scenes from the show alongside other actors.
Cast of Characters
WADSWORTH, a traditional British butler in every sense: uptight,
formal and “by the book.” He is the driving force in the play.
YVETTE, a loyal and sexy French maid.
MISS SCARLET, a dry, sardonic D.C. madam, more interested in
secrets than sex.
MRS. PEACOCK, the wealthy wife of a senator. A bit batty, neurotic,
and quick to hysteria.
MRS. WHITE, a pale, morbid, and tragic woman. Mrs. White may or
may not be the murderer of her five ex-husbands.
COLONEL MUSTARD, a puffy, pompous, dense, blowhard of a
military man.
PROFESSOR PLUM, an arrogant academic, easily impressed by
himself.
MR. GREEN, a timid yet officious rule follower. He’s awfully anxious.
ENSEMBLE WOMAN:
THE COOK, a gruff woman with a threatening presence. (Alive
and Dead.)
SINGING TELEGRAM GIRL, a tap dancer with a heart of gold.
(Alive and Dead.)
AUXILIARY SCARLET, the back of Miss Scarlet during a scene of
theatrical trickery.
BACKUP COP, backup for the Chief in the very final Cop entrance.
ENSEMBLE MAN 1:
MR. BODDY, a slick, Frank Sinatra, film noir-esque type fella.
(Alive and Dead.)
THE MOTORIST, a professional driver. (Alive and Dead.)
CHIEF OF POLICE, a cop who helps to save the day.
ENSEMBLE MAN 2:
THE UNEXPECTED COP, a regular Joe. (Alive and Dead.)
BACKUP COP, backup for the Chief.
AUXILIARY MUSTARD, the back of Colonel Mustard during a
scene of theatrical trickery.
Note: Clue is a highly stylized ensemble piece. It is to be played with
honesty and truth. The “life or death” stakes of the situation are
more important than comic bits. The pacing of Clue is intended to
be very swift. The script maps out suggested physicality in some
cases, but casts are encouraged to embrace the style and find their
own moments of comedic physicality, while maintaining a truthful
intention throughout.
