A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder
State Theatre
805 Hennepin Avenue Minneapolis
Coming direct from New York, where a most gentlemanly NPR critic said he'd "never laughed so hard at a Broadway musical," A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder tells the uproarious story of Monty Navarro, a distant heir to a family fortune who sets out to jump the line of succession, by any means necessary. All the while, he's got to juggle his mistress (she's after more than just love), his fiancee (she's his cousin, but who's keeping track?) and the constant threat of landing behind bars! Of course, it will all be worth it if he can slay his way to his inheritance...and be done in time for tea. The Hollywood Reporter raves, "Gentleman's Guide restores our faith in musical comedy." The New York Times cheers, "it will lift the hearts of all those who've been pining for what sometimes seems a lost art form." Kindly get your tickets now for the new musical that will have you dying with laughter!

A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder Reviews
Star Tribune - Recommended
"...Stylistically, this musical by Robert Freedman (book and lyrics) and Steven Lutvak (music and lyrics) begs, borrows and steals from most everything. There's a moment of door-slamming bedroom farce, homages to "My Fair Lady" and Gilbert & Sullivan, melodrama and cheesy romance. Squint and you can glimpse "La Cage's" foppish charm. And should you lose focus (which can happen during the second act), your mind might wonder how this Edwardian spoof would play at Downton Abbey."

"...If songs are the highlights of most musicals, it's the murders that earn much of the applause here, sorta like in a "Final Destination" movie. Tresnjak makes use of simple props (a pile of red feathers, a fake head) and playful video projections to depict an octet of amusing deaths: by falling, by figure skating, by problematic apiary maintenance, you name it"
