Zeiterion Performing Arts Center welcomes the national Broadway tour of the Tony Award® winner for Best Musical, A Gentleman’s Guide to Love & Murder, on Friday, October 27, at 8 p.m. The musical comedy tells the tale of a man who will do whatever it takes to get his hands on a handsome inheritance.

Gentleman’s Guide is 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 fiancée (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.

One of Broadway’s most celebrated musicals, Gentleman’s Guide received ten 2014 Tony® Award nominations, winning four awards: Best Musical, Direction of a Musical, Book of a Musical, and Best Costume Design. In addition, it won the Best Musical prizes from the Drama League, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle, and received a 2015 Grammy® Award nomination for Best Musical Show Album.

James Taylor Odom will play the role of the eight heirs of the D’Ysquith family, and Blake Price will portray the role of Monty.
