In this fast-paced farcical adaptation of the classic Sherlock Holmes novel, three actors play more than a dozen roles as the legendary detective and his assistant, Dr. Watson, investigate a case involving a mysterious "hound of hell" that stalks the moors. Fun for the whole family, the show is filled with physical humor and visual gags. Remo Airaldi, Bill Mootos and Trent Mills reprise their roles in the comedy-thriller by Steven Canny and John Nicholson, which returns to the Central Square Theater in Cambridge after a successful 2010 run.

Car Talk: The Musical!!! - Inspired by the Hit NPR Call-In Show

Full Price:
$45.00 - $50.00
Our Price:
$22.50 - $25.00

Inspired by the long-running hit NPR show Car Talk -- which is hosted by legendary (real-life) mechanics Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers -- comes the hilarious new musical comedy, Car Talk: The Musical!!! at Central Square Theater. A co-production of Underground Railway Theater and Suffolk University, the show was written by Suffolk faculty member Wesley Savick, with original music by Michael Wartofsky. In it, Rusty Fenders, the hapless owner of a lemon '93 Kia, falls in love with Miata C. LaChassis. She guides him to the Emerald Garage, home to the Wizard of Cahs (portrayed by the recorded, heavily accented voices of Click and Clack themselves). Like the radio show, it's a romantic comedy about being in love with your car -- and so, so much more. Learn More

The acting was spectacular! It was so hilarious!!! The 3 actors are very talented juggling the different characters makes it even more interesting. Even my 14 yr old girl enjoyed it. This is a must see!

The actors were fantastic! I had no idea what to expect and was very pleasantly surprised! I highly recommend it. I think its a little pricey at 40$ but at GoldStar price it is an absolute must watch for anyone who enjoys Holmes and comedy all rolled into one.. (side note: I loved the actor who played Holmes.. and err.. several other characters)

I brought visiting family to see the show and we all enjoyed it. It's fun to watch the three actors scramble around the stage as they switch roles, and the play is clever. At the Goldstar price, it was certainly worth it.

I loved everything about the performance. I've loved Sherlock Holmes from childhood, so I was surprised to recognize the plot in such a madcap farce. The actors were all engaging, talented, and delightful to watch. Anyone who likes goofy cleverness will enjoy this laugh-out-loud experience. Apart from the play, the theater was nicer than expected, no bad seats and the concession stand was great (and you can bring your refreshments into the theater itself).
