About
The Mystery of Edwin Drood is a musical written by Rupert Holmes based on the unfinished Charles Dickens novel of the same name. The show was the first Broadway musical with multiple endings (determined by audience vote). The show won five Tony Awards, including Best Musical, with Holmes awarded for Best Book of a Musical and Best Original Score. The musical debuted at the New York Shakespeare Festival in August 1985 before transferring to Broadway, where it ran until May 1987, sometimes billed as Drood: The Music Hall Musical, followed by two national tours and a West End production. The Roundabout Theatre Company revived the musical in 2012.
