"A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder" tells the uproarious story of Monty Navarro, a distant heir to the D'Ysquith family fortune who sets out to jump the line of succession, by any means necessary. All the while, he's got to juggle his mistress (she's after more than just love), his fiancée (she's his cousin but who's keeping track?) and the constant threat of landing behind bars! Of course, it will all be worth it if he can slay his way to his inheritance... and be done in time for tea.
The most celebrated musical of the 2013-14 Broadway season, "A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder" received ten 2014 Tony Award nominations, eventually winning four awards: Best Musical, Direction of a Musical, Best Book of a Musical, and Best Costume Design. In addition, it won the Best Musical prizes from the Drama League, Drama Desk, and Outer Critics Circle, and received a 2015 Grammy Award nomination for Best Musical Show Album.
"A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder" opened at Broadway's Walter Kerr Theatre to overwhelming critical acclaim in November 2013 where The New York Times raved "'Gentleman's Guide' will lift the hearts of all those who've been pining for what sometimes seems a lost art form." The Hollywood Reporter enthused "'Gentleman's Guide' restores our faith in musical comedy!" And Time Magazine said, "Just as I was about to give up on musicals, along comes 'A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder!'"
Googie Uterhardt plays the role of the eight D'Ysquith heirs and Haden Rider portrays Monty Navarro. "A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder" also stars Leigh Ellen Jones (Sibella Hallward), Broadway's Kristine McLaughlin (Phoebe D'Ysquith), and Beth Beyer (Miss Shingle).
The company features Ally Duncan, Fenner Eaddy, DJ Grooms, Imani Joseph, Tyler Sarkis, Lauren Tatum, Adam Washington, and Kiley Washington.
