Taped in performance at Le Petit Theatre du Vieux Carre, the 2001 New Orleans production of Rupert Holmes' Broadway hit "The Mystery of Edwin Drood."
In this scene, Your Chairman Mr. William Cartwright (owing to the intoxication of another actor) has taken on the role of Mayor Sapsea (Eddie Collins). Mr. Clive Padgett, playing the role of choirmaster John Jasper (Vatican Lokey) explains his sense of duality which accelerates into quick & clever wordplay and an exciting ending. The dancers are played by Matthew Mickal, Mark Weinberg, Clayton Mazoue, & Kevin Champagne.

I'm sharing this with my friends who are singing this at next month's cabaret! Vatican you are PERFECTION!

Actually, this was directed with a nod to the original Broadway staging. So in your opinion, Rupert Holmes, Wilford Leach and Graciela Daniele did not know what they were doing when they created this number.

This is a patter song. Why distract from the true cleverness of it by turning it into a chorus dance routine? Shame - they were doing really well, too. Then you couldn't apreciate what the two were doing. Overdirected for the sake of it :-(
