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.

Roundabout is racking up the nominations! Check back to see updates throughout the awards season.

Immerse yourself in the world of The Big Knife with our recommended reading, watching and drinking lists!

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.

The Big Knife, written by Clifford Odets and directed by Doug Hughes begins performances this week.

In the golden age of Hollywood cinema, actors may have all the glory, but studio execs have all the power. The Hoff-Federated studio has had its most successful star, Charlie Castle (Bobby Cannavale) , over a barrel ever since it helped cover up a mistake that could have ended his career. When a woman with insider knowledge threatens to come forward, the studio heads will stop at nothing to protect Charlie's secret... but how far is he willing to go before he quits the movie business for good?

Education Dramaturg Ted Sod spoke with Set Designer Jeff Cowie about his design process and perspective on the play.

Lanford Wilson was born on April 13, 1937 in Lebanon, Missouri. At age 11, after his parents divorced and mother remarried, Wilson moved with his mother to Ozark where he developed an appreciation for art and tried his hand at performing in high school plays.

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.
