Bad story, poorly written and badly directed. Tried too hard to be a comedy that it lost the rest of the storyline. Arquette was a monotone performer equal to that seen at a Middle School production. Skip this one.
Do not waste your time & money on this sophomoric play. This is the worst theater experience since a high school production seen years ago.
Should've left at intermission, Could've gotten over the bad British accents, but, except for Moriarty's character - no one had any stage presence. The kids at Roosevelt High School were doing a better - and more passionate job with Annie that week.. Interesting, flashy tech
I had hoped this would have been a phenomenal show, but left disappointed. Arquette was the highlight, and the set was amazing, however, the script left much to be desired. Too many plots and it just wasn't good. We purchased our tickets full price, but if you still have a desire to go, I would purchase via discounted tickets.
This was my first time seeing a stage play of Sherlock Holmes and as a huge fan of the detective, I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. David Arquette played a very comedic and maybe even more eccentric Holmes, and that is what made this great. The entire cast was excellent, especially Kyle Gatehouse as Moriarty. It is a comedy which was different, but in a good way. Highly recommended for anyone who likes Sherlock Holmes, comedy and a great night out!
overall the play was "OK". David Arquette wasn't the star of the show, Dr. Moriarty was better. Plot was ok, mixture of classic Holmes stories combined.
It was something to do on a Saturday afternoon but wouldn't go again.
For us a Sherlock fan this was an Awful interpretation of Sherkock and company. Acting was over done to create the looney depiction of Sherlock. The director created a Sherlock that was on a Jr. High School level. We left at intermission . A waste of out time and money. The Warner TgeTer and the costumes outshines the acting and goofy carton characters portrayed.
we left at the intermission --that says it all. Uninteresting and poorly acted.
The acting and the stage production was so bad that we left after the first act, along with a few dozen other attendees.
I hate to say this , but a terrible play. I thought it was just me, but at intermission we heard others with the same thoughts. I was just happy when it was over. We thought about leaving at the intermission, but hung in there. Not sure why.....
The show took me away for a few hours of fun, very enjoyable and light hearted. Lots of laughs and old time shtick. Great job guys
Both the story and the actors were entertaining. Both my wife and I enjoyed the show.
Slightly strange, hard to follow, and nothing that really stood out as enjoyable.
This was a very well produced production that kept you interested all the way from beginning to end. Actors (all of them) were excellent - costumes were really good and I loved how the set was managed and manipulated from scene to scene. I also learnt a few things about Sherlock Holmes that i never knew before - that I found very intriguing, which led to more research on the character and the author of the books Sir Arthur Doyle. Definitely worth going to see.
Sherlock was awful. Fully unforgettable except for how poorly acted and scripted it was. Lots of audience snoozer and leavers at intermission
If you know and love Sherlock Holmes, don't spend your money on this play. Every of the familiar characters with the possible exception of Mrs. Hudson is played as one sort or another of a simpering fool. That includes Holmes, Lestrade and Moriarty. The action is interrupted periodically with odd intervals of what might be called dance, but is more aptly described as a stage full of people moving with exaggerated, jerky motions that do nothing to advance the story. There is a plot of sorts, but it is overwhelmed by arch references to the titles of Doyle's short stories, Holmes' use of cocaine, his high regard for himself and the like. When you see the characters pretending to ride in a carriage by holding a stick and bouncing up and down oddly, the only conclusion is that this production simply didn't have enough of a budget to obtain the most minimal of props. It's no wonder that this show is only spending a week in each city; they want to get in, get your money and get out before the reviews are published and people begin demanding their money back.
My wife and I very much enjoyed Sherlock Holmes with David Arquette. We liked David Arquette's portayal of Holmes, giving him a sense of humor. We also liked the settings (images projected on backgrounds rather than hard sets) and the costumes.
Too much mugging by Sherlock and the show was frenetic confusion.
I am a big fan of David already but I must admit I was not sure how he would pull off such a different roll as Sherlock Holmes. I'm incredibly excited to say he was MARVELOUS. I enjoyed the performance - smiled and giggled throughout it.
