“There are a number of sayings about how healing laughter can be,  and as a group, shared laughter is even better. Sherlock Holmes and the Precarious Position…is a satire, it is spoof, and it is downright funny…an excellent way to spend an evening (or afternoon) out.”  — The Sound on Stage

send you into the street with a smile.”  — Broadway World
