Plot Synopsis
Since there were no clues as to Drood's murderer or even if a murder had been committed, Holmes decides to let the audience provide the show's ending by voting how it turns out. The musical is offered as if it was being performed by an acting company, complete with such conventions as a Chairman to comment on the action and a woman to play the part of Edwin Drood.
