Walter Kerr Theater – NYC
A Gentleman’s Guide to Love & Murder, the 2014 Tony Award ® winning musical comedy, is a bawdy, bouncy, toe tapping, over the top Broadway extravaganza that is a must see on every traveler’s list when visiting NYC.
Set in London 1907, A Gentleman’s Guide to Love & Murder centers on Monty Navarro, a penniless but handsome clerk who finds out after his mother’sdeath that he is ninth in line to inherit the Earldom of Highhurst which is controlled by the wealthy D’Ysquith banking family. After the ruling Lord of the family dismisses his claim of being an actual D’Ysquith, Monty proceeds to kill off in natural and unnatural ways the eight family members who stand in his way. Bryce Pinkham as Monty Navarro is a handsome, boyishly charming rogue with a beautiful voice who plots in ever so clever ways and succeeds in the demise of all eight D’Ysquith family members. Jefferson Mays, the Tony Award® winning actor is brilliant in his slapstick portrayal of all eight D’Ysquith family members. Scarlett Strallen as Sibella Hallwand, his narcissistic, money and status conscious, beautiful love interest is quite the fetching femme fatale and Catherine Walker as Phoebe D’Ysquith, his damsel in distress, is captivating as the ingénue with a heart of gold and a glorious operatic voice. The entire cast is wonderfully entertaining and all contribute enthusiastically to the mayhem and merriment that ensues. As the show is closing January, 17, 2016, run, don’t walk and purchase tickets to this one of a kind, extraordinary Broadway production before It closes
