Winner of the Tony Award for Best musical!  This wildly warm-hearted theatrical experience kicks off when the Music Hall Royale (a hilariously loony Victorian musical troupe) "puts on" its flamboyant rendition of an unfinished Dickens mystery.  The story itself deals with John Jasper, a Jekyll-and-Hyde choirmaster who is quite madly in love with his music student, the fair Miss Rosa Bud. Now, Miss Bud is, in turn, engaged to Jasper's nephew, young Edwin Drood.  The title character disappears mysteriously one stormy Christmas Eve — but has Edwin Drood been murdered?  And if so, then whodunnit?  But this show’s most memorable attribute is a no-holds barred finale in which the audience votes on the suspect they think is most guilty, leading to any number of alternate endings!  The Mystery of Edwin Drood will be directed by John Howrey, part of the team that brought to life Oklahoma!, Les Miserables, and Footloose.
