The Mystery of Edwin Drood

Wow, what a magnificent show! I laughed my ass off and was pleasantly surprised at how this show works. This is the show where the audience chooses the ending. Based on Charles Dicken's last novel (he never finished because he died and they make sure to point that out in the show) with the same name, the show comes to a halt when it becomes the audience's responsibility to pick out 3 things; who is the mysterious man that's been lurking about, who killed Edwin Drood, and who should the lovers of the show be? The night we went, Bazzard (the man who wants a bigger part) was awarded the role of mystery man. The killer was Helena Landless. And the lovers (ah my favorite part of the night) were Princess Puffer (Chita Rivera) and Neville Landless who upon hearing this news, stared at each other and it became very apparent that Neville forgot his lines and just said "we don't do this very often."

 We had excellent seats in the mezzanine. Row C in the house left side. Aaron was supposed to go with me but he got sick last minute so I took Lauren instead, which just means that I have to go again because I had a marvelous time!
