PERSONAL STATEMENT FROM CRAIG MCLACHLAN
Almost one week ago, a casting announcement was made regarding the Australian stage play Cluedo. In the hours and days that followed, I was targeted in a social media campaign from within the theatre community, which I was devastated to see has then impacted those involved in the production.
I therefore feel that it is best for the production and those involved for me to withdraw.

STATEMENT FROM CROSSROADS LIVE AUSTRALIA
Recently Crossroads Live Australia announced some of the ensemble cast that will be appearing in our upcoming stage adaptation of the much-loved classic board game Cluedo, including Craig McLachlan who was cast in the role of Colonel Mustard.
Craig McLachlan is no longer part of the ensemble cast of Cluedo. We thank those who have purchased tickets to Cluedo for their understanding and look forward to a successful production.

PERSONAL STATEMENT FROM JOHN FROST
Craig McLachlan’s theatrical stage return wasn’t well received by some of the industry and public. The resulting impact on others involved has prompted his withdrawal from the production. I have listened to the feedback and as producer, whilst it was my initial casting decision, I understand the opposing sentiment, and I am sorry for any distress this decision has caused.
