Nigel Tau brought a sense of gravitas and intrigue to the role of Sherlock, while Young, as Dr. John Watson, was delightfully animated in his characterization. The pair transitioned from vignette to vignette in a movement language Saunders described as a form of exaggerated speech and body language. 

With each new vignette came another murder mystery, along with a plethora of characters from the Sherlock universe, including Mary Watson (Oba-Muschiana), Mycroft Holmes (Sam Epstein), Inspector Lestrade (William Wisnesky), and multiple other incarnations of Sherlock, representing his various skill sets and past portrayals.

Part lip-synching, slapstick, sketch comedy, part Broadway-esque drama, this uber-entertaining new age ballet had something to captivate everyone from the novice dancegoer to the balletomane. 

The most memorable of its vignettes was that of a contentious suffragette rally, complete with musical number and song, and Sherlock’s final duel with arch nemesis Professor Moriarty -portrayed with menace by Josué Justiz- that ended the ballet. It took place on a bridge overlooking a river, where a gathering of apparitions, possibly the victims in Sherlock’s many cases, performed a mournfully beautiful dance in unison as the two men were locked in a smoothly executed struggle to the death that ended with Moriarty tumbling off the bridge and pulling Holmes along with him into the waiting arms of the apparitions below.
