ABOUT THE SHOW
"THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD" is a hilarious, interactive whodunit mystery musical that allows the audience to enter the action and become the ultimate detectives.
The show is based on Charles Dickens’ unfinished novel of the same name.
In the small town of Chesterham, England, the young and charming EDWIN DROOD has been mysteriously murdered.
But by whom?
His leering romantic rival, John Jasper?
The infamous purveyor of opium and vice, Princess Puffer?
The mysterious Landless twins, newly arrived from Ceylon?
Or someone else even more dastardly and villainous?
Dickens passed away before he was able to reveal the culprit.
Rupert Holmes’ award-winning musical solves this predicament by asking the audience to choose which character is the killer by putting it to a vote.
Staged in metatheatrical manner by the "Music Hall Royale," a traveling Victorian theatre troupe full of just as many colorful characters as the roles they play, this charming and inventive musical is sure to intrigue and entertain any musical or mystery lover.
All actors play two parts.
Each plays an actor of the "Music Hall Royale" company and also the character he or she plays in Music Hall’s production of "THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD." (STAGEAGENT)
