THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD
Book, Music, and Lyrics by Rupert Holmes
Director: Ted Blain
Music Director: Wallace Hornady
Welcome to an evening at the Music Hall Royale where an ebullient troupe of actors will perform for you Charles Dickens' unfinished whodunit The Mystery of Edwin Drood. In the idyllic countryside of Victorian England, young Edwin Drood has everything: wealth, good looks, and a betrothal to the beautiful Rosa Bud. But when he is murdered on Christmas Eve the audience will have to pick up where Dickens left off and decide who perpetrated the crime--was it his brooding uncle Jasper? Perhaps one of the mysterious Landless twins recently arrived from Ceylon? The simple minded stonemason or the mild-mannered priest? The fiesty owner of an opium den or the long-suffering clerk? YOU decide, in this uproarious musical adventure!
