Sherlock Holmes heading to Broadway in 2017

It's elementary, really. With all things Sherlock Holmes popular now, it's no wonder that he's coming to Broadway next.

Producers said on Thursday that a play about the cunning detective will come to Broadway in 2017. Called Sherlock Holmes, it will be written by the British writing team of Rachel Wagstaff and Duncan Abel.

It is being billed as an original tale offering "a new and deeply theatrical exploration of the mind of the famous detective, while remaining faithful to the mysterious world created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle".
