         Baker Street         I Remember Mama

Baker Street

Baker Street
Loosely based on the Sherlock Holmes story A Scandal in Bohemia by Arthur Conan Doyle, it is set in and around London in 1897, the year in which England celebrated the Diamond Jubilee of the reign of Queen Victoria (an event marked by an elaborate royal procession depicted by Bil Baird's marionettes). The musical veers from Conan Doyle's work in that Irene Adler becomes an associate of Holmes rather than his opponent, thus allowing an element of romance between the two.

Book by Jerome Coopersmith; Music by Marian Grudeff And Raymond Jessel; Lyrics by Marian Grudeff And Raymond Jessel; Adapted from the stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle; the songs "Buffalo Belle," "Cold Clear World of the Intellect" And "I Shall Miss You Holmes" by Jerry Bock And Sheldon Harnick
