When Charles Dickens died in 1870, he left more than a literary legacy in his wake. He also left an unfinished novel. The Mystery of Edwin Drood tells the story of a suspicious death and the ensuing investigation. Dickens died before he had a chance to write the ending, and several writers have since wrapped up Drood’s mystery. This weekend, Foothill Music Theatre stages one of the most interesting continuations; The Mystery of Edwin Drood by Rupert Holmes is a musical comedy in which the audience gets to choose Drood’s killer. It was the first Broadway musical to have multiple endings. Runs through March 15.
