A GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE TO LOVE AND MURDER to Open This March at the Ahmanson

A GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE TO LOVE AND MURDER, directed by Darko Tresnjak, featuring book & lyrics by Robert L. Freedman, music & lyrics by Steven Lutvak, and choreography by Peggy Hickey, comes to the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles this spring.

A GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE TO LOVE AND MURDER, winner of the 2014 Tony Award for Best Musical, tells the uproarious story of Monty Navarro, a distant heir to a family fortune who sets out to jump the line of succession, by any means necessary. He is alsN3o juggling 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. But it will all be worth it if he can slay his way to his inheritance ... and be done in time for tea.
