Mark your calendars and save the date to see the Norton Singers' Spring 2019 production of the "solve it yourself" murder mystery The Mystery of Edwin Drood! The show will be performed for two weekends at Weber Theater at Wheaton College, 26 E. Main Street, Norton, MA.
"The Mystery of Edwin Drood" is based on the unfinished final novel of Charles Dickens and is a musical murder mystery by Rupert Holmes with a Music Hall backdrop, a slew of quirky characters, great songs, lots of improvisation and comedy, audience interaction, and a load of alternative endings, making every performance different! Best of all: you get to decide how it all ends!
This year's adventure will be co-directed by the award-winning team of Melissa Franklin and Ted Mitchell, with music direction by Anthony-Alexander Torelli. Produced with permission of Tams-Witmark and Rogers and Hammerstein Theatricals.
