Thrasher-Horne Center Welcomes A GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE TO LOVE & MURDER ImageThe Tony Award winner for Best Musical, A Gentleman's Guide to Love & Murder, will play Thrasher-Horne Center Friday, January 5th, 2018 at 8 PM in its First National Tour. Tickets are available now at THcenter.org or by calling (904) 276-6815. Prices range from $49 to $89.

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.

The most celebrated musical of the 2013-14 Broadway season, Gentleman's Guide received 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.

A Gentleman's Guide to Love & Murder features a book and lyrics by Robert L. Freedman and music and lyrics by Steven Lutvak. Direction is by Darko Tresnjak, with choreography by Peggy Hickey.

Gentleman's Guide opened at Broadway's Walter Kerr Theatre to overwhelming critical acclaim in November 2013 where The New York Times raved "Gentleman's Guide will lift the hearts of all those who've been pining for what sometimes seems a lost art form." The Hollywood Reporter enthused Gentleman's Guide "Restores our faith in musical comedy!" and Time Magazine said "Just as I was about to give up on musicals, along comes A Gentleman's Guide to Love & Murder!"

Gentleman's Guide is presented as part of Thrasher-Horne Center's 2017-2018 Broadway Orange Park season sponsored by Garber Automall. The Thrasher-Horne Center is a performing arts venue and conference center owned and operated by St. Johns River State College. It is located on the Orange Park campus at 283 College Drive in Orange Park, Florida.
