In this musical comic romp filled with unforgettable songs, the ever-charming Monty Navarro discovers that he is ninth in line to the Earldom of Highhurst. Desperately in love with Sibella, who is determined to only marry up, Monty jumps at the chance to change his penniless state, and, upon encountering his prejudiced relatives, Monty feels he may be able to move up the line with a little well placed…homicide.

Featuring one actor playing the entire D’Ysquith family, A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder was the winner four Tony Awards, including Best Musical.
