What would our childhoods have been like without board games such as Clue? Nothing quite brings families together like solving a murder and accusing one of your loved ones of doing it! We frequently visited Boddy Mansion in hopes of discovering the culprit before anyone else, bringing with it a healthy dose of suspicion and even more laughter. The concept of this classic Parker Bros. game lends itself well to other media, such as the equally fun and even more hilarious Clue Live on Stage! The stage adaptation recently visited the Metro Detroit area as a bonus show in Broadway in Detroit's current season, and The Box Seat Babes were invited to the mansion, along with some other familiar guests, on the night of Mr. Boddy's murder!

Following the first part of our Clue discussion, which focused on the story within this show, we will discuss some of the technical aspects of what you can expect when you catch this play on its North American tour in part 2! In this episode, listen as hosts Brian Kitson and RJ Miller-Zelinko discuss the humor in Clue, which ranges from slapstick to physical humor, the aspects of the set that caught their attention, and their final verdict of the show. Think they'll go and see it again? Listen to this episode of The Box Seat Babes Podcast to find out!

Tipping Point Theatre is in its 17th season of bringing remarkable stories to Northville, MI, emphasizing family and how that can look different for so many people. What constitutes a family? Is it the blood bonds between people or are they unbreakable connections we build throughout life? In their upcoming show, English from playwright Sanaz Toossi, addresses these bonds through the themes of identity, and how culture and language are such an important part of that. Ahead of its Michigan Premiere, we spoke with Sarab Kamoo, who plays Marjan, an English Teacher preparing a class for their Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).

In this exclusive interview, Sarab Kamoo discusses how deeply she appreciates and relates to the story within English. She speaks on her work as a social worker, which blends with her acting in this show, allowing her to have a stronger connection to the story and its characters, and if there is any pressure to bring English to Michigan for the first time. There's no denying the love that Kamoo has for this play, which is only made better by acting in it with her daughter. This dynamic duo is ready to take Tipping Point Theatre by storm with English, bringing this timely story to Michigan just when it's needed most.

Come From Away is one of those musicals that celebrates a bright spot in one of the darkest days in American history. It tells the true story of the little town of Gander in Newfoundland, which took in about 7000 passengers grounded during the September 11th attacks.

In this exclusive interview, cast member Kristen Litzenberg discusses what drew her to this musical and what her time on tour has been like. She explores how a changeover within the cast can impact the show, such as keeping her in the moment instead of going into autopilot, the inspiration she gains from telling a true story such as this, and what challenges a one-act musical presents.
