By:



Watch the cast of Goodspeed's The Mystery of Edwin Drood perform the show's opening number 'There You Are.'  Goodspeed Musicals is presenting The Mystery of Edwin Drood as its first production of the 2024 season - now on stage through June 2nd in East Haddam, Connecticut.

Who killed Edwin Drood? You decide! A troupe of Victorian performers invites you to play detective in this musical comedy whodunit packed with surprise. Your vote picks the guilty party from a lineup of suspicious Charles Dickens characters who leap off the page and into a gas-lit, gilded, giddy spectacle. No one is who they appear to be among the corrupt suspects in this cunning and clever show-within-a-show. You’ll be guessing motives, masks and murder ’til the final curtain.
