Title: Terrific Score from Rupert "Escape" Holmes
Review: Rupert Holmes (famous for his #1 hit "Escape") does an excellent job with his first theatrical score, the Tony-winner "Mystery Of Edwin Drood". The show, based on the unfinished book by Charles Dickens, is basically a whodunit, with multiple endings based on each audience's preferences. The cast, headed by Betty Buckley, George Rose, Cleo Laine and Howard McGillin, is terrific. The score is fast-moving & fun!Best tracks include:There You Are [the terrific opening number]A Man Could Go Quite MadTwo KingsmenMoonfallThe Wages Of SinBoth Side Of A CoinDon't Quit While You're AheadFinale: The Writing On The WallThis score may not be filled with theatrical standards, but the songs are generally excellent & merit repeat listenings.
