At The Rep, Christmas in Victorian London becomes the West End — where dreams come true and nothing bad ever happens — as performers mysteriously die mid-scene. Scotland Yard rules out foul play until Sherlock Holmes uncovers a link to The Twelve Days of Christmas. Racing against the clock to save French Hens, find Gold Rings, and rescue Mother Goose, Holmes faces mortal danger. Will he prevail, or can Dr. Watson and rival detective Athena Faversham ensure he survives another Christmas?
This World Premiere comedy whodunnit is written by The Penny Dreadfuls’ Humphrey Ker and David Reed, with new songs by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber. A festive murder mystery with mischief, mayhem, and a Partridge in a Pear Tree at 221b Baker Street this Christmas.
