North Coast Repertory Theatre will be rocking with laughter as it closes out Season 43 with the hilariously inventive musical farce, A GENTLEMAN’S GUIDE TO LOVE AND MURDER.
Winner of the Tony for Best Musical among a raft of prestigious awards, the diabolically funny romp has Book & Lyrics by Robert L. Freedman, Music & Lyrics by Steven Lutvak and was based on a novel by Roy Horniman. When it first appeared on Broadway, critics and audiences lavished praise on the production, with the New York Times lauding it as “ingenious and inspired,” and The Wall Street Journal rhapsodizing that it “glitters like gold.”
A GENTLEMAN’S GUIDE TO LOVE AND MURDER takes audiences on an endlessly entertaining foray into a charming man’s relentless quest for a bountiful inheritance that will change his life forever. This comedic musical tale about ambition, love, family and devious murder plots will have playgoers gasping with laughter and reveling in its lively, imaginative score. Dazzling, delightful, and absolutely unforgettable, this brilliantly conceived musical is guaranteed to lift anyone’s spirits.
