The Mystery of Edwin Drood

Charles Dickens died before he completed his final novel. This musical adaptation of that novel lets the audience vote at each performance, and pick the ending it prefers. The show is staged as a play-within-a-play, as members of a 1880s theater company stage Drood in an English music hall. The clever songs are by Rupert Holmes, who won a Tony for this score in 1985. Th, F 8pm; Sa 2pm & 8pm; Su 2pm (alternating with Twelfth Night). Through 8/2. $15-$25. Veterans Memorial Theatre, 203 W. 14th St. in Davis; www.shakespearedavis.org. J.H.
