A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder
1363 Old Globe Way, San Diego, 92101
I had so much fun the first time I wish I could see it again! Everything's of a piece in this "sophisticated grotesque" musical about a likeable serial killer who must eliminate eight heirs to become an Earl. The elements are so interwoven, it's near impossible to single one out: Steven Lutvak's wonderful period (1907) score; Robert L. Freedman's book and often brilliant lyrics; Darko Tresnjak's creative direction; design work, and inspired performances by Chilina Kennedy, Lisa O'Hare, Ken Barnett (as ne-er-do-well Monty, the recidivist protagonist), and the extraordinary Jefferson Mays, who plays all eight heirs, each a distinctive and brazenly psychotic whacko.
Critic's Pick.
