A GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE TO LOVE AND MURDER Comes to Granbury Next Month

Granbury Theatre Company will continue its Broadway on the Brazos season with the musical comedy “A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder” on April 5-28, 2024, at the historic Granbury Opera House in Downtown Granbury.

According to Music Theatre International, “When the low-born Monty Navarro finds out that he's eighth in line for an earldom in the lofty D'Ysquith family, he figures his chances of outliving his predecessors are slight and sets off down a far more ghoulish path. Can he knock off his unsuspecting relatives without being caught and become the ninth Earl of Highhurst? And what of love? Because murder isn't the only thing on Monty's mind....”  The book and lyrics are by Robert L. Freedman with music and lyrics by Steven Lutvak.  The musical is based on a novel by Roy Horniman.

Matt Beutner, the director of Granbury Theatre Academy, stars as Monty with Gavin Clark taking on the many roles of The D’Ysquith Family.

Other cast members are Hannah Beth Baker, Meredit Browning, Micah Cheney, Matthew Deming, Reagan Deming, Jake Hamilton, Renee Maynard, Elizabeth Miller and Haley Nettleton Twaddell.
