With more than 600 possible endings, the Tony Award winning musical The Mystery of Edwin Drood is anything but predictable. Based on Charles Dickens’s unfinished mystery novel, the story is steered by the members of the audience, who help the actors choose an ending.

In the play, Edwin Drood is supposedly murdered, and suspicion is cast on his uncle. A day after completing chapter 22, Dickens died of a stroke.

Here, from left, Maggie Pangrazio, Ryan Nealy, and Emily Formica, who plays the role of Edwin, rehearse.

Edwin Drood, directed by DPA’s Karl Kippola, will be staged at 8 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 16, through Saturday, Feb. 18, at the Greenberg Theatre. —AF
