Sherlock Holmes - The Musical was a musical based on characters created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, which opened on 22 October 1988 at the Northcott Theatre, in Exeter and ran for a limited season of five weeks. It then played at the Cambridge Theatre on Seven Dials in London's Covent Garden area for a successful couple of months. During this time there were tube strikes (public transport) which Ron Moody was able to work into the script through ad-libs.

A revival tour was staged with Robert Powell in the title role and Roy Barraclough as Watson.
