Full casting has been announced for the Roundabout Theatre Company’s Broadway production of The Mystery of Edwin Drood, to be presented at Studio 54 beginning October 19, 2012, with an opening night set for November 29. Scott Ellis will direct, with choreography by Warren Carlyle and musical direction by Paul Gemignani.

Featuring book, music, and lyrics by Rupert Holmes, the musical murder mystery is based on an unfinished novel by Charles Dickens. In this show, everyone on stage is a suspect in the murder of young Edwin Drood–and it’s up to the audience to choose the killer.

Block (Edwin Drood), Will Chase (John Jasper), Gregg Edelman (Reverend Mr. Crisparkle), Jim Norton (Chairman) and Chita Rivera (Princess Puffer) with Andy Karl (Neville Landless), Jessie Mueller (Helena Landless), Betsy Wolfe (Rosa Bud), Nicholas Barasch (Deputy), Peter Benson (Bazzard), Robert Creighton (Durdles), Alison Cimmet, Nick Corley, Janine DiVita, Jenifer Foote, Justin Greer, Shannon Lewis, Spencer Plachy, Kiira Schmidt, Eric Sciotto, Jim Walton, and Cody Williams.

The design team includes Anna Louizos (sets), William Ivey Long (costumes), Brian Nason (lighting) and Tony Meola (sound).
