I’m headed to the final matinee performance of a new holiday play, A Sherlock Carol, written and directed by Mark Shanahan this afternoon. The eight-week limited holiday engagement at New World Stages (340 West 50th Street) began previews on November 11 and opened on November 22, 2021. A Sherlock Carol has also announced plans to return for the 2022 holiday season.

A Sherlock Carol stars Thom Sesma (Sweeney Todd, Pacific Overtures) as Ebenezer Scrooge and Drew McVety (Billy Elliot, Spamalot) as Sherlock Holmes, with Dan Domingues (The Tempest, Wild Goose Dreams), Anissa Felix (Summer: The Donna Summer Musical, Sunset Boulevard), Tony Award nominee and Drama Desk Award winner Isabel Keating (The Boy From Oz, It’s Only a Play), and Mark Price (Mary Poppins, Chicago) rounding out the onstage company.

When a grown-up Tiny Tim asks Sherlock Holmes to investigate the peculiar death of Ebenezer Scrooge, the Great Detective must use his tools of deduction to get to the bottom of the crime. But it is a dark and treacherous Christmas Eve, and once again the holiday is haunted by the spirits of the past, present, and future.
