<\/p>\nSarah Mackenzie Baron will be dressed to fit in when she returns to Scranton. She already has a shirt from Poor Richard\u2019s Pub.<\/p>\n
The actress in the national tour of \u201cClue: Live on Stage\u201d has two connections to Scranton. Her first big booking was playing Michael Scott in a New York City production of \u201cThe Office! A Musical Parody.\u201d When another cast produced it in Scranton, she and other performers piled into a van to see it.<\/p>\n
Last year she returned to perform as part of the national tour of \u201cThe Addams Family\u201d at the Scranton Cultural Center at the Masonic Temple. She played the mother of Wednesday\u2019s boyfriend.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is such a cute town and I had so much fun,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd it was so nice to finally get to really experience it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Expand<\/a><\/p>\n Baron will play Mrs. White in \u201cClue: Live on Stage\u201d when the play comes to the same theater for four shows the weekend of April 24-26. Unlike most Broadway in Scranton shows, it is a play, not a musical.<\/p>\n \u201cClue\u201d is based on a movie inspired by the board game of the same name. Like the game, the show is a murder puzzle to be solved.<\/p>\n In the original game, Mrs. White was a servant. Here she is a socialite.<\/p>\n \u201cMrs. White is a grieving widow,\u201d she said. \u201cShe has been married multiple times and something seems to continue to happen to all of her husbands.\u201d Baron described her as \u201cblack widow meets a black cat.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cShe is always in the corner,\u201d she said. \u201cShe\u2019s always watching. She\u2019s always observing. And she\u2019s really the only one to kind of catch on to what\u2019s going on around her in all of the chaos. She\u2019s very smart, she\u2019s very tricky.\u201d<\/p>\n Mrs. White was played by Madeline Kahn in the 1985 movie. Tim Curry portrayed the butler.<\/p>\n The cast can easily tell how much of the audience has seen the movie, Baron said.<\/p>\n People who have seen the movie recognize callbacks and quotes. \u201cYou can always hear the positive response to that,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n The big plot twist brings out reactions from others. \u201cHearing that big gasp and response is always super fun,\u201d she said, \u201cbecause then you know we still have people that are super engaged and this is their first time going on this journey.\u201d<\/p>\n The 80-minute show runs without an intermission. \u201cIt is just a fast-paced farce comedy and you\u2019re just going to be laughing from about 30 seconds into the show all the way through the end,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n Baron, 35, grew up in California and came to New York City after graduating from the University of Arizona with a degree in musical theater. For several years she auditioned during the day and worked in bars and restaurants at night. \u201cI like to say I am a walking cliche,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n The role of Michael Scott in the \u201cOffice\u201d parody changed her life and put her on a Times Square billboard.<\/p>\n Her \u201cOffice\u201d gear is ready for the Scranton trip. \u201cI\u2019ve got my Poor Richard\u2019s shirt that I\u2019m excited to wear while I\u2019m out,\u201d she said, \u201cand I\u2019m so excited to come back because I know Scranton really gets excited about the productions that come through.\u201d<\/p>\n Showtimes are April 24 at 7:30 p.m., April 25 at 2 and 7:30 p.m. and April 26 at 1 p.m.<\/p>\n Prices start at $39, plus online fees.
