Leonard Nimoy As Sherlock Holmes

Many on Facebook had noted the late Leonard Nimoy's birthday yesterday. 

I spotted a photo of Nimoy playing Sherlock Holmes in a rather campy stage play in 1976. Alan Sues (of Laugh-In fame) played Moriarty. I shared it. Some people weren't even aware Nimoy played Holmes upon seeing the photo (shown above).

My parents and I went to see the play at the now-gone Shubert Theater located at the ABC Entertainment Center in Century City in Los Angeles. Somewhere around here, I have the program from the show. 

Campy though it was, I found it entertaining nonetheless.

Here's a newspaper advertisement:

Here's the cover of the play's program:

One of these days, I should dig around to see if I can find my copy of the program.
