Here's how the musical is billed: "Dust & Shadow, based on the book of the same name by internationally renown novelist Lyndsay Faye, follows time-honored heroes Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson as they hunt for - and are hunted by - 19th century London's most infamous villain: Jack the Ripper. Penned by BMI stand-outs Jonathan Reid Gealt (music), Dustin Sullivan (lyrics) and Kasey Marino (book), this epic musical thriller celebrates the triumph of love, friendship and yes, deduction amidst the grit and grandeur of Victorian England." Faye's novel was published in 2009. Producer Augustine told Playbill.com that plans for the musical include an out-of-town tryout with commercial runs in New York City and abroad.
