If you’re looking for something fun, different, and actually entertaining for both you and your kids, this is it.
Clue: On Stage is coming to Wharton Center April 7–12, and we had the chance to chat with Madeline Raube, who plays the iconic Mrs. Peacock.
Spoiler: you’re going to want tickets.
Why Families Will Love It
🎭75 minutes
🎭No intermission
🎭Fast-paced + easy to follow
It’s one of those rare shows that doesn’t feel like a time commitment, just a really good night out.
“It’s just fun. You walk in, sit down, and laugh for 75 minutes.”
Meet Mrs. Peacock (And Yes, She’s Chaos)
Madeline’s take on Mrs. Peacock leans into everything you want it to be, dramatic, over-the-top, and completely unpredictable.
“She’s loud, she’s hysterical… almost bird-like. But she’s also really smart, clever, and cunning.”
And just when you think you have her figured out…
“You quickly realize this woman is about to completely unravel in front of your eyes.”
What to Expect
Think:
🎭 Physical comedy
🎭 Slapstick moments
🎭 Big characters
🎭 Non-stop energy
“People falling, spit takes, slapping… it’s so fun.”
Whether you grew up with the board game or are walking in completely blind, it works either way.
“Just come ready to laugh.”
A Peek Behind the Scenes
Tour life isn’t always glamorous, but Madeline makes it work with a few must-haves:
A memory foam pillow, photos of her family (and her cat 📷 🐱) and something she has picked up during her travels, a collapsible teapot
It’s the little things that make every stop feel like home.
Why is Now a Good Time for Clue: Live on Stage?
Her answer says it all: “There’s a lot going on in the world right now… this is a chance to just laugh and forget everything else for a bit.”
One Last Thing
We asked her to describe her version of Mrs. Peacock in one sentence:
“She’s a crazy old bird… with a lot of energy.”
Honestly? We are there. That’s all we needed to hear.
Plan Your Night
Clue: Live On Stage runs April 7–12 at Wharton Center.
Grab tickets, plan dinner, and enjoy a night out that’s easy, fun, and guaranteed to get some laughs.
With the kids, friends or a date night, pick one day between April 7 and April 12 and plan to spend 75 minutes laughing and figuring out who done-it.
Oh, and keep an eye on Mrs. Peacock’s purse.
GLAMoms Tip
Turn it into a full night: Dinner + show + “who did it?” debates on the ride home.
