The Mystery of Edwin Drood

Based on Charles Dickens’ final unfinished novel, this hilarious whodunit invites the audience to solve its mystery by choosing the identity of the murderer, potentially changing the show’s ending at each performance. This tune-filled, fast-paced tale is presented as a show within a show, as the Music Hall Royale—a delightfully loony Victorian theatre company—presents Dickens’ brooding mystery.
