The show also stars Andy Karl, Jessie Mueller, Nicholas Barasch, Peter Benson and Robert Creighton, with an ensemble that includes Alison Cimmet, Nick Corley, Janine DiVita, Jenifer Foote, Justin Greer, Shannon Lewis, Spencer Plachy, Kiira Schmidt, Eric Sciotto and Jim Walton. The musical's new cast album will be released on January 29, 2013.

Davie’s Broadway credits include A Little Night Music, Grey Gardens and Curtains. Her off-Broadway credits include The Glorious Ones and Applause, and she was featured in the national tours of Swing! and Guys and Dolls.

The Mystery of Edwin Drood plays a limited engagement at Studio 54 through March 10.
