| I see it's directed by Evan Pappas, who's so talented. I'll always remember him as Benjy in Flaherty & Ahrens' 1992 musical of ''My Favorite Year.'' | |

| From MSM’s Facebook page: “MSM Musical Theatre’s breakout reconception of The Mystery of Edwin Drood is as notable an achievement in the history of the show as its original transfer from Central Park to Broadway: a 2021 triumph of vibrant talent, resourcefulness, innovation and determination over the current pandemic, in responsibly safe yet richly entertaining fashion,” Rupert Holmes, who studied at MSM in the 1960s, told MSM’s creative team in an email. “It brims over with youthful energy in league with a savvy world-class creative team. An incredible accomplishment, a miraculous affirmation of the ‘all-for-one’ spirit that is musical theatre, and proof positive that where there’s a willing company, there’s a way to go on with the show! As the show curtain rises on their vivid streaming stage, MSM Musical Theatre truly becomes The Little Music Hall That Could!” he says. |

| I didn’t know about it and am not sure I’ll be available to view it but I’m going to try. Just wondering: it says on the site “Pre-Recorded Stream”... so how do they do the ending of the show? Did they just pick a ‘winner’ in advance for how the various few plot threads are resolved? Or (as much as you can indicate without spoilers) does the viewing audience actually have some ‘vote’ at all in how the show turns out? I’m fascinated in this as a streaming choice... some shows translate to home viewing better than others, but at least nearly all of them are more or less 100% written!- this one, simply because of the huge cast and especially the audience participation/interaction, would seem on the surface like possibly the craziest choice to stream for a socially distanced at-home viewing audience ... unless it’s not. What’s the best explanation/sales pitch you can give (without feeling like you’re giving anything away)? |

| I was kind of hoping the voted-upon songs might be performed live from the students' apartments, but I guess to try match accompaniment and performer would have been a potential nightmare. The whole thing was remarkably well-done! |

| Yes, very well-done. (Has anyone besides Seth Rudetsky, with his Sunday night concerts, managed to keep performer and accompaniment in sync while in different venues?) | |
