A Gentleman’s Guide To Love & Murder — a musical with the laurels of Downton Abbey and the morals of a mongoose!

Monty Navarro has just received some really great news! He’s a long-lost member of a noble family and could become the next Earl of Highhurst. There are only eight minor issues, namely the other relatives who precede him in line for the title. So Monty does what any ambitious, highborn gentleman would do: he sets out to eliminate them one by one, all while juggling his mistress (she’s after more than just love), his fiancée (she’s his cousin, but who’s keeping track?), plus the constant threat of landing behind bars! But it will all be worth it if he can slay his way into Highhurst Castle… and be done in time for tea.

Tony® winner Jefferson Mays (I Am My Own Wife, Gore Vidal’s The Best Man) gives one of the most gasp-inducing performances ever attempted on the American stage, playing all eight doomed heirs who meet their ends in the most creative and hilarious ways. Mays leads a knockout cast alongside the delightfully debonair Bryce Pinkham (Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson) as Monty, the scoundrel whose greatest weapon is his charm.

Reviews

  • “The DAZZLING JEFFERSON MAYS gives the YEAR'S GREATEST MUSICAL-THEATER PERFORMANCE, making INFECTIOUS MERRIMENT in this DAFFY, INGENIOUS new musical!”

     ----New York Time
    s
  • “INGENIOUS! GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE  is the theatrical equivalent of EXPLODING CAVIAR. BROADWAY HAS A NEW HIT! A spinning top of a show with the breakneck pace of the Kentucky Derby crossed with the dazzle of a British musical hall revue.  

    -------New York Observer
  • “LAUGH-OUT-LOUD WITTY! The EXTRAORDINARY American actor JEFFERSON MAYS offers a gallery of PERFECTLY formed and distinct DELIGHTS!  You’d swear you know each and every backstory even though some of these characters only exist long enough to come to some terrible fate–AN ASTONISHING ACHIEVEMENT!”
