THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD Has Been Solved

Over a month has passed since The Mystery of Edwin Drood closed and diehard fans have been finding solace in listening to their cast recording on repeat, sharing photos from their stage door experiences, and even changing their ringtones to something Drood-themed. The show began previews on October 19th, 2012 and (after being extended) ran for 164 performances, through March 10th, 2013. During its run, many fans found themselves returning again and again to Studio 54 (aka the Music Hall Royale) to experience this one-of-a-kind musical. One such fan, Kelly Wallace, attended 15 performances-on one occasion she was even dragged onstage to take part in the opening number. (more...)

The Talley Trilogy by Lanford Wilson

How many times have you reached the end of a great book or play or film and found yourself wishing that you could find out what happened to the characters next? The current trend in film is to take that emotional investment and parlay it into a sequel, often just a new iteration of the same events we saw the first time around. This premise has made billions of dollars for a variety of superhero franchises, simply swapping in a new villain each time around. (more...)

Reed Birney at Roundabout

After more than three decades away, Reed Birney made a well-deserved return to the Broadway stage when Roundabout's production of Picnic opened earlier this month. He plays Howard Bevans, the small-town businessman who gets entangled with "old-maid schoolteacher" Rosemary Sydney (Elizabeth Marvel). Between his 1977 Broadway debut inGemini and his current turn as Howard, Birney found himself working off-Broadway. He gained critical acclaim for his work-particularly for his portrayal of the violent Ian in Sarah Kane's Blasted at SoHo Rep, a departure from his customary "nice-guy" roles. The New York Times chronicled Birney's career in their January 3rd article, Actor Ages into His Broadway Comeback. (more...)
