A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder

OMG what a treat this show was! I haven't laughed at such silly things in a long time, perhaps since seeing Peter and the Starcatcher. It's a British humor type show so if you don't like Spamalot/Monty Python you might want to skip this one. It's all about a man who finds out he's 9th in line to be Earl of a huge fortune, and realizes that if he "offs" the other 8 family members, he'll be rich. The kicker for this show is that all 8 family members are played by the same actor. What a feat this actor does in 2.5 hours! I was thoroughly impressed and he did the changes SO quickly.

The costuming was superb! Swoon! I loved Sibella's song about being dressed in pink. A character I'd love to play. She had so much sass and she was all about herself.

 Aunt Nancy and myself kept reenacting this ice skating scene, laughing the next day even. What a good time.

 And Aaron loved this charity woman that the multi actor portrayed. This was a hilarious scene.

I couldn't have asked for better seats. We were in row M, exactly center, and other than a tall man sitting slightly in front of me and Aunt Nancy, these felt like producer seats. I'd see this show again in a heartbeat and I think it's the front runner for best new musical so far!
