Audience to decide
outcome of ‘Drood’
By Shane Hall
MSC-OPAS presents the
musical “The Mystery of
Edwin Drood” at 8 p.m.
tonight in Rudder
Auditorium. The Tony
Award-winning musical is a
play within a play about a
troupe of players at an
1870s English music hall
who are to present a musical
based on Charles Dickens’
unfinished novel, “The
Mystery of Edwin Drood. ”
Rupert Holmes
composed the musical after
reading the unfinished
Dickens work, and was said
to be tantalized by the
possibilities of what the
answer to this “who dunnit”
could be. Holmes wrote
many possible solutions to
the novel’s unanswered
questions into the musical
itself.
Theater-goers coming to
the play are advised to bring
their thinking caps because
there will be some
participation on their part.
When the musical is
performed on the stage, the
audience decides the play’s
outcome by voting on the
identity of the murderer, the
identity of the detective and
which lovers are united at
the play’s end. The choices
given are those that were
written into the play by
Holmes. The cast must be
prepared to perform
whichever solution receives
the majority of the
audience’s vote. Thus, the
ending of the play is in the
audience’s hands.
Holmes’ unique
approach to writing a
musical paid off in the
awards department. “The
Mystery of Edwin Drood”
won five Tony Awards,
including Broadway’s Best
Musical. Holmes himself
won the Best Book and Best
Original Score awards for a
musical, the first sole
recipient of both awards in
Tony Award history.
Additionally, Mystery
Writers of America
presented the Edgar Award
for Best Play to the musical.
“Drood” also won the
Drama Desk and Outer
Critics Circle Awards for
Best Musical.
Tickets to “The Mystery
of Edwin Drood” are still on
sale at the MSC Box Office.
Ticket prices are $22,
$17.50 and $14.50 for
students, and $25, $22 and
18.50 for non-students.
