State Theatre New Jersey presents A Gentleman's Guide to Love & Murder on Friday, April 6, 2018 at 8pm and on Saturday, April 7, 2018 at 2pm and 8pm. Featuring the talented James Taylor Odom, who will play the role of the eight D'Ysquith heirs and Blake Price, who will portray the role of Monty Navarro. Tickets range from $35-$98.
A GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE TO LOVE AND MURDER is a 2014 musical comedy, with a book and lyrics by Robert L. Freedman and music and lyrics by Steven Lutvak. This winner of four Tonys, including Best Musical, is based on the 1907 novel 'Israel Rank: The Autobiography of a Criminal' by Roy Horniman. The novel was also the source for the 1949 British film Kind Hearts and Coronets. The film and musical are both examples of black comedy and the musical also spoofs the antiquated musical form known as operetta. This frenetic farce has a marvelous score that recalls the best verbal gymnastics of Gilbert & Sullivan and Stephen Sondheim.
