MILWAUKEE (November 20, 2025) – In celebration of the 40th Anniversary of CLUE: The Movie, original film star Lesley Ann Warren (Miss Scarlett) will travel to the Marcus Performing Arts Center for a special screening of the fan favorite film for one night only on March 3, 2026.

CLUE: The Movie is a comedy mystery film based on one of the world’s all-time most popular board games. The evening will offer in-depth conversation, stories from set, Q&As with attendees and more.

“Celebrating this film with the countless fans across the country has become a highlight for me,” commented Ms. Warren. “I look forward to meeting fans, new and old, while we enjoy watching the movie on the big screen!”

Based on the board game, CLUE: The Movie became a cult classic that featured a starry cast including Eileen Brennan as Mrs. Peacock, Tim Curry as Wadsworth, Madeline Kahn as Mrs. White, Christopher Lloyd as Professor Plum, Michael McKean as Mr. Green, Martin Mull as Colonel Mustard, and Lesley Ann Warren as Miss Scarlet. Set in 1954 at a New England mansion, this whodunit film follows six strangers who arrive for a mysterious dinner party under aliases. They soon discover that they are all suspects in a murder.

“I am thrilled to be on another journey with the lovely Lesley Ann Warren, hostess extraordinaire and the original Miss Scarlet, as we bring fans across the country this cult classic,” commented Stander. “Experiencing the fan engagement in packed theaters testifies to its earned historic significance.”
