CBS's "Watson" premiere tonight (after the game) brings Sherlock Holmes back in the news!
by Terry Bojanowski 26 Jan '25

26 Jan '25

Sherlock Holmes is a cultural phenomenon with enduring popularity across media. The upcoming adaptation, Sherlock Holmes 3 (starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law), is highly anticipated and will draw audiences back into the world of Holmes. Guy Ritchie's Young Sherlock and Enola Holmes 3 (Netflix) expand the audience base, especially among younger viewers. Sherlock Holmes-themed musicals are well-positioned for success. Planning your next season? We recommend TND's *The Case of the Counterfeit Napoelon, A Sherlock Holmes Musical Mystery <https://www.licensingmusicals.com/case-of-the-counterfeit-napoleon> *(large cast, 100 min. + intermission) or *Mister Sherlock Holmes <https://www.licensingmusicals.com/mister-sherlock-holmes>, *a one act adaptation of the full production, perfect for Family Theatre. Artistic Directors can capitalize on the ongoing interest in these intellectual properties by staging musicals that align with these stories, and confidently embrace these musicals, knowing they are part of a globally recognized and culturally significant franchise. Tana Calhoun, director of Duncan Little Theatre's (Duncan, OK) Sept., 2024, production of *The Case of the Counterfeit Napoleon" *said, "I can't begin to explain how easy it was to navigate all of the tools that you sent to us to be able to successfully perform this absolutely wonderful musical! I was able to give instruction easily and my vocal director and music director were able to work together with all of the tools that were sent as well. I will very gladly use this company again. Not only was it that successful musical, but it was new and everybody loved the storyline and the music." *EDUCATIONAL THEATRES* can produce one run of any TND Musical for just $450 - $550! TND Musicals waives the standard licensing fees - we know educational theatre needs some perks! *ALL other theatres* can visit LicensingMusicals.com to get 10% off Licensing Fees! *ABOUT TND MUSICALS:* 1. DIGITAL DELIVERY: All production materials are sent electronically. No shipping, no returns—everything you need is just a click away. 2.
