Ladies and Gentlemen! The Music Hall Royale (a barely under control Victorian musical troupe) presents its flamboyant rendition of an unfinished Charles Dickens mystery.

Meet the dashing Music Hall performer, Clive Paget as John Jasper (Rick Breese), the Jekyll-and-Hyde choirmaster who is quite madly in love with his music student, the fair Miss Rosa Bud. The delicate Rosa is brought to life by the lovely Deirdre Perrigrine (Maureen McCluskey). Unfortunately for Mr. Jasper, Miss Bud is engaged to Jasper's own nephew, young Edwin Drood portrayed by a London famed male impersonator, Alice Nutting (Danielle Lang). When Drood disappears mysteriously one stormy Christmas Eve, we are left to wonder -- has our title character been murdered? And if so, then whodunit?

Sadly, Mr. Dickens passed away before he could answer those questions... but no matter. The Music Hall Royale is prepared to indulge your fancy, solving the mystery according to your own specifications. So kick off your boots and loosen your corsets! Cheer and boo as you wish! Enjoy yourselves as the boisterous Music Hall Royale presents The Mystery of Edwin Drood.

Reserved tickets to this Tony® award-winning show are $18.00 each and include cabaret-style table seating with refreshments (plus credit card transaction fee if booked online through TicketLeap).

WRP is a member of the Seminole County Regional Chamber of Commerce, the Central Florida Performing Arts Alliance, and the American Association of Community Theatre.
