The Mystery of Edwin Drood

"The Mystery Of Edwin Drood" where Chita Rivera stars in the Broadway revival of Rupert Holmes' musical comedy.  The story is based on Charles Dickens' unfinished novel, "The Mystery of Edwin Drood" tells the story of young Edwin Drood, an Englishman whose sudden disappearance throws the fictiional townspeople of Cloisterham into a panic.  Suspicions arise about who is responsible for Drood's vanishing, with fingers pointing every which way, including the dashing but villainous John Jasper, Drood's fiancee Rosa Bud, opium den proprietor Princess Puffer and mysterious siblings Helena and Neville Landless.  As the investigation pushes forward, everyone who came into contact with Drood joins the lineup of the suspects.

"The Mystery Of Edwin Drood" is staged as a play-within-a-play, with each performer portraying a fictional English actor who, in turn, portrays a Dickens character.  Set in the style of a Victorian music hall at Christmastime, "The Mystery Of Edwin Drood" is a meta-theatrical event that invites the audience to participate in the show as the actors stage a play-within-a-play.  During the show, audience members are encouraged to sing, clap and interact with the actors, culminating in an audience vote for the show's ending.  The bulk of the show is a madcap comedy with colorful characters, breathtaking set design and musical numbers styled in the vein of traditional British pantos.
