Book, music, and lyrics by Rupert Holmes Based on the unfinished novel by Charles Dickens November 6th at 7:30pm November 7th at 7:30pm November 8th at 2:00pm A theatrical company takes the stage to perform Charles Dickens’ final mystery but there is one considerable problem: Dickens died before completing the story. When Edwin Drood disappears, suspicion falls across a collection of eccentric characters, each with secrets, motives, and something to hide. Because the original novel has no official conclusion, this inventive musical gives the audience the power to finish it. Throughout the performance, watch the clues, consider the suspects, and prepare to cast your vote. Audience choices help determine the identity of the murderer and shape the final outcome of the evening. Featuring memorable music, sharp comedy, bold choreography, suspense, and direct audience participation, The Mystery of Edwin Drood is part musical, part murder mystery, and part live theatrical game. No two performances have to end the same way. Return on another night, cast a different vote, and you may see an entirely different solution. Come prepared to laugh, investigate, and decide the fate of the characters because this time, the ending is up to you. Running time: Approximately 120 minutes |
