Review: The Revenge Of Sherlock Holmes at Hoxton Hall + Minicast!

The Revenge Of Sherlock Holmes

Performed at Hoxton Hall, London.

Reviewed by Ardy

The Baker Street Babes

Jenn and I went to see The Revenge of Sherlock Holmes at Hoxton Hall a couple of days ago. The posters promised “a Music Hall musical of elementary magnificence” with “more Victoriana than even Prince Albert could handle”. Intrigued, but not sure what to expect, we trotted along just past Liverpool Street and weren’t disappointed. A Holmes that reminded me of Jonny Lee Miller in his mannerisms and general attitude; a Watson who wore the loudest suit that I’ve ever seen on a stage and a moustache that meant business, and some fantastic ladies—foremost of all Bella, whose cunning and wit is a fair match for Sherlock Holmes, but also a brilliant Mrs Hudson.

Episode 40: Morphic Graffiti and The Revenge of Sherlock Holmes

Now playing in London!

bakerstreetbabes:

Babes Ardy and Kafers chat to Luke Fredericks and Stewart Charlesworth, whose company Morphic Graffiti just opened a production of The Revenge of Sherlock Holmes, “a music hall musical of elementary magnificence”. Last year, the company staged Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in musical form—this year, they’re tackling our favourite detective. Hooray! We might just break out into song… okay, don’t fear, we left that part to the professionals.

Luke and Stewart tell us why the combination of Holmes and the music hall is a winner, talk about the challenges and high points involved in putting Sherlock Holmes on stage, and sing the praises of their cast. We talk Victorian music hall, costuming, and more!

The Revenge of Sherlock Holmes just opened at Hoxton Hall, 130 Hoxton Street, N1 6SH, London, and is running until May 10, 2013. Tickets are available from the Hoxton Hall website, or you can call their box office on 020 7684 0060.

lyndsayfaye:

So I’ve been truly blessed in many different fashions in my life, but one of my happiest moments was when I was first told that Simon & Schuster would be publishing my first novel, the grim tale of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson running down Jack the Ripper. I’d done a ton of research on the…

Big News!

sherlockholmesthemusical:

We had our first production meeting last night and it went really well! We made some big decisions last night, but the one I want to tell you about is….

The Sherlock Holmes Musical will be based on….A Scandal In Bohemia

We all agreed that was one of our favorite Sherlock Holmes stories and that we would love to be able to have one of the leads be female. We’re all really looking forward to getting it started!

Check it ooooooooooooout
