Riverdale Repertory Company presents
THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD
February 22-March 2, 2014
Six Performances Only!
The Mystery of Edwin Drood
Direct from its triumphant 2012 Broadway run, THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD is coming to Riverdale! Riverdale Repertory Company presents the daffy Tony Award-winning musical comedy for six performances only, from February 22 to March 2, 2014.
Join a raucous troupe of hammy actors at a turn-of-the-century British music hall as they present a musical entertainment based on Charles Dickens' final, incomplete novel, THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD. In an ingenious twist, the audience votes on how the show ends: Who's the murderer? Who's the incognito detective? Who are the lovers? There are over one hundred possible permutations, so no two performances will be the same!
Performances of will be held at the Riverdale YM-YWHA, located at 5625 Arlington Avenue (two blocks west of Riverdale Avenue, just north of West 256 Street), in Riverdale, Bronx, NY.
