On the evening of his mother's burial, Monty Navarro, an ordinary Englishman, discovers a remarkable truth: he is directly related to the Earl of Highhurst. To claim his aristocratic status, he must, first, off the preceding eight earls. Driven by love for Sibella and Phoebe, he undertakes the challenge, facing the eccentric D'Ysquith family—portrayed by one actor embodying their mishaps. A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder combines Edwardian elegance, farcical humor, and splendid operatic vocals. Brimming with constant humor, an exceptional score, memorable roles, and a 2014 Tony Award, the musical swiftly attained classic status.
