A GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE TO LOVE AND MURDER will welcome back an original Broadway cast member to its murderous fold.

BroadwayWorld has learned that Tony nominee Bryce Pinkham will officially return to the 2014 Best Musical on Tuesday July 28, as Monty Navarro.

Pinkham departed the production earlier this year, joining Elisabeth Moss and Jason Biggs in the short-lived Broadway revival of Wendy Wasserstein's THE HEIDI CHRONICLES.

"I am positively rhapsodic over the prospect of returning to Highhurst Castle," Pinkham said in a statement released today. "I am particularly overjoyed to be reunited with my hero and partner(s) in crime, Jefferson Mays. By the way, do the D'ysquith's know I'm coming back? I bet they'll be tickled to death."

According to press notes, "Gentleman's Guide 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 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."

A GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE TO LOVE AND MURDER will launch its first national tour this September, with stops planned in Chicago, Los Angeles, and other major markets.

In April, Gentleman's Guide announced the recoupment of its entire Broadway production capitalization. The most celebrated musical of the 2013-14 Broadway season, Gentleman's Guide received a leading ten 2014 Tony Award nominations, eventually 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. The Broadway production holds the house records at the Walter Kerr Theatre for both the highest single-week gross ($1,062,740.60 over eight performances on the week ending December 28, 2014) and total cumulative gross, which now stands at nearly $60 million. Gentleman's Guide opened at Broadway's Walter Kerr Theatre to overwhelming critical acclaim on Sunday, November 17, 2013.

A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder features a book by Robert L. Freedman, music by Steven Lutvak, and lyrics by Robert L. Freedman and Steven Lutvak. Darko Tresnjak directs and Peggy Hickey choreographs.

Rosenberg (Lighting Design), Dan Moses Schreier (Sound Design), Aaron Rhyne (Projections Design), and Charles LaPointe (Wig Design).
