Sherlock Holmes - The Musical is a musical based on characters created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, with music, lyrics and book by Leslie Bricusse. The musical opened on 22 October 1988 at the Northcott Theatre, in Exeter and ran for a limited season of five weeks. It then played at the Cambridge Theatre on Seven Dials in London's Covent Garden area from 24 April 1989 to 8 July 1989.[1] During this time there were tube strikes (public transport) which Ron Moody was able to work into the script through ad-libs.
A revival tour was staged with Robert Powell in the title role and Roy Barraclough as Watson.
