NOTES
A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder is the knock-’em-dead, 
uproarious hit and the most-nominated show of the 2014 season.  
With ten Tony nominations and four wins, including Best Musical, 
Book, Direction, and Costumes, it also earned seven Drama Desk 
Awards (including Best Musical), four Outer Critics Circle Awards 
(including Best Musical) and one Drama League Award (Best Musical).
When the low-born Monty Navarro finds out that he’s eighth in line 
for an earldom in the lofty D’Ysquith family, he figures his chances 
of outliving his predecessors are slight and sets off down a far more 
ghoulish path. Can he knock off his unsuspecting relatives without 
being caught and become the ninth Earl of Highhurst? And what of 
love? Because murder isn’t the only thing on Monty’s mind....
A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder is a murderous romp filled 
with unforgettable music, non-stop laughs and a scene-stealing role for 
one actor playing all eight of the doomed heirs who meet their ends in 
the most creative and side-splitting ways.
