Director's Note

​​Romance…check.
A beautiful score…check.
Witty characters and dialogue…check.
All of the elements required for a Tony Award-winning Best Musical, right?
And just for good measure, let’s throw in…murder! Double-check!
 
It isn’t every day that one finds something worth adding to their “Bucket List”…but on March 8, 2014 I added something to mine...and tonight, we're thrilled to share it with you! As I sat in the Walter Kerr Theatre in New York City watching “A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder,” I was left speechless. Here was a piece of musical theatre that was so brilliantly crafted and executed that I knew I wanted to be a part of bringing it to every audience possible. It was sheer genius on all levels: the writing, composing, design, direction, performances and technical aspects merged into a seamless evening at the theatre.

 
Inspired by the 1907 novel "Israel Rank: The Autobiography of a Criminal" and a subsequent motion picture, "Kind Hearts and Coronets," the talented and versatile cast presents a dizzying array of characters, including 9 members of the eccentric D'Ysquith family. And now, through a series of most fortuitous events, Beverly's Terrace Plaza Playhouse is delighted to present this theatrical gem.
 
Intrigue, passion and madcap comedy are in the air! Let the games begin!
