A unique theatrical experience, "The Mystery of Edwin Drood" is an award winning musical based upon the unfinished novel by Charles Dickens - as it would be presented as a 'first night performance by The Music Hall Royale', a troupe of decidedly hammy Victorian actors, this affectionate recreation of a bygone theatrical age is certain to prove an enormous hit with everyone. Music, mystery and mayhem mingle as the story works its way to its climax - and no one is ever quite sure what that climax will be, for at each performance the audience votes to select the ending! Be sure to be a part of the crowd for "The Mystery of Edwin Drood", where the audience truly solves the mystery! The witty and tuneful score contains such numbers as "There You Are", "Moonfall", Perfect Strangers" and "Off To The Races".

This hilarious musical whodunit was a smash hit on Broadway where it received rave reviews.
