A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder

A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder
A distant heir to a family fortune sets out to speed up the line of succession by using a great deal of charm... and a dash of murder.



A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder
is the knock-'em-dead, uproarious hit and the most-nominated show of the 2014 season. With ten Tony nominations and four wins, including Best Musical, Book, Direction and Costumes, it also earned seven Drama Desk Awards (including Best Musical), four Outer Critics Circle Awards (including Best Musical) and one Drama League Award (Best Musical).

When the low-born Monty Navarro finds out that he's eighth in line for an earldom in the lofty D'Ysquith family, he figures his chances of outliving his predecessors are slight and sets off down a far more ghoulish path. Can he knock off his unsuspecting relatives without being caught and become the ninth Earl of Highhurst? And what of love? Because murder isn't the only thing on Monty's mind....

A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder is a murderous romp filled with unforgettable music, non-stop laughs and a scene-stealing role for one actor playing all eight of the doomed heirs who meet their ends in the most creative and side-splitting ways. This is a must-produce for any theatre looking for a truly original and fresh new comedy that will delight audiences and leave them begging for more.

Do you offer an alternative for Lady Hyacinth?

We love this show and want to put it on in our community, but the Lady Hyacinth song is explicitly racist and many don't feel comfortable singing it. Is there an alternative? This one song is a deal breaker.
