Step into a world of intellect, intrigue, and Victorian elegance at the Grand Tea Room’s High Tea Dinner Theater production of Ken Ludwig’s Moriarty: A New Sherlock Holmes Adventure—a thrilling, witty, and fast-paced new chapter in the Sherlock Holmes legacy.

​

The moment you arrive, you are welcomed into the opulent ambience of a classic high tea parlor, transformed for the evening into a theatrical salon worthy of London’s most brilliant minds. Brass lamps glow warmly over lace-draped tables. The air carries the aroma of bergamot and fresh-baked scones. Every detail—from fine china to velvet curtains—immerses you in the era of deductive genius and diabolical schemes.

​

As the performance unfolds, guests enjoy a full high tea dinner service, artfully curated to complement the drama on stage, allowing you to sip tea between revelations, savor pastries as plots twist, and witness the battle of wits between Holmes’ legendary nemesis, Professor James Moriarty, and a brilliant cast of characters in an adventure packed with disguises, daring deductions, and delicious theatrical mischief.

This is more than dinner and a show—it is an experience:

A feast for the palate, the imagination, and the power of reason. Whether you come for Sherlockian suspense, Ken Ludwig’s razor-sharp humor, or the splendor of high tea dining, the Grand Tea Room invites you to be our honored guest in a night where every crumb hides a clue and every teacup holds a story.

The game is afoot… and tea is served.
