Posted: 1/17/08 at 11:28amI just remember Durdles' confession had a lot to do with being drunk.

He sings, "I'm Good! For good can come from bad!"
And my mistake, he did kill Rosa's Mother (at least in the universe where he killed Drood), he admits it later in his confession.
By the way, I just emailed Rupert Holmes via his website to see if I could get Durdles Confession.
With Clay Aiken in Spamalot, all of Broadway is singing a collective "There! Right! There!" -Me-
"Not Barker, Todd is the only person I've ever known who could imitate Katherine Hepburn...in print." -nmartin-

As I recall, the original CD release did feature all of the confessions, but that was in the early days of CDs, and when it was reissued in the late 1980's/early 1990's, it didn't include all of them, only Rosa's and Puffer's I believe.
This was one of the first shows I ever did, and we had a nice four-week run, so practically everyone got to be the murderer at one point or another. What was even more fun was the various matchups of lovers, especially the night when we had a particularly bawdy audience who made Neville and Helena (brother and sister) the lovers. That was a real riot!
