The 1986 Tony Award-Winner for Best Musical, based on Charles Dickens last (and unfinished) novel of the same name, drops you dead-center into the world of the Music Hall Royale and it's stock company of colorful characters  as they endeavor to enact a Who-Done-It of epic proportions! Young Edwin and the sweet Rose Bud, betrothed since childhood, are crossed by fate, a Choirmaster with dual personalities, an Opium Peddler with a somewhat checkered past, Orphan Twins of indiscernible heritage, a Holy Man who isn't wholly what he seems, a Grove Digger with killer comic timing, and a Perennial Understudy with a take-charge attitude.  Every performance unravels a different denounement as the audience decides upon a detective, a murderer, and a pair of unlikely lovers!
