The Mystery Of Edwin Drood at Foothill Music Theatre

Whodunit? Foothill Music Theatre presents the Tony Award-winning musical The Mystery of Edwin Drood. Adapted from Charles Dickens unfinished novel of the same name, this hilarious whodunit invites audiences to solve its main mystery by identifying the murderer of its title character. When young Edwin Drood disappears, everyone he knows becomes a suspect. Among the lineup of criminal culprits are Droods dashing but villainous uncle, his beautiful fiance, mysterious houseguests, and the proprietress of the opium den. Presented as a play within a play by a loony Victorian theatre company, this rollicking musical comedy debuted at New York Shakespeare Festival before moving to Broadway, where it became a smash hit, winning 4 Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Original Score, and Best Book. Its 2012 Broadway Revival by Roundabout Theatre Company received a New York Times Critics Pick and five Tony Award nominations including Best Revival of a Musical.
