The Department of Music presents the College Choir in "The Mystery of Edwin Drood" at Wellin Hall in the Schambach Center for Music and the Performing Arts. The choir, under the direction of Professor of Music G. Roberts Kolb, will perform on Friday, Feb. 3, and Saturday, Feb. 4, at 8 p.m. and on Sunday, Feb. 5, at 2 p.m. The musical, written by Rupert Holmes, is a play-within-a-play that centers on the Music Hall Royale's production of an unfinished Dickens mystery. Notable musical numbers include "The Wage of Sin," "Perfect Strangers," and "Both Sides of the Coin." The production culminates in the audience voting on a solution, which leads to an extremely unusual finale.
The musical was the recipient of five Tony Awards for Musical, Book, Score, Director and Actor.
