GENTLEMAN’S GUIDE tells the uproarious story of Monty Navarro, an heir to a family fortune who sets out to jump the line of succession by—you guessed it—eliminating the eight pesky relatives who stand in his way. All the while, Monty has 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 Hollywood Reporter raves, “GENTLEMAN’S GUIDE RESTORES OUR FAITH IN MUSICAL COMEDY” and The New York Times cheers, “IT WILL LIFT THE HEARTS OF ALL THOSE WHO’VE BEEN PINING FOR WHAT SOMETIMES SEEMS A LOST ART FORM.” Kindly get your tickets now for the musical that will have you dying with laughter.
A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder was extremely well done. We enjoyed it very much. We sat in the first row near the wall caption machine. Otherwise, it would have been a challenge to understand. Several people left after the first act.
The cast was very talented and entertaining. The dialogue was clever. The set was cute. Overall, our group found it to be cute, or amusing; not hilarious.
The show was terrific. Different than many of the shows that I had seen in the last few years. Well deserving of the Toni Award for best show.
This show was not my favorite. Our disappointment in the show was our own fault. I didn't research it enough to know it was an operetta. It was very difficult to understand the rapid patter in the English accent. If it were not for the subtitles, my husband would not have understood any of it. The Broward Center is awesome! Staff was very professsional and helpful. .
The sets were great, super choreography, some wonderful special effects. The program listed a "Dialect" coach. I could understand the male lead, but the actresses playing older women sang with typically British "chewy peas in their mouths". I have no idea of what happened at the end.
Poor sound production - couldn't hear several of the show. Slow pace - never got started Songs were not catchy - more like contrived Left at intermission wondering why the placed was sold out.
Funny, cunning, beautiful, entertaining! It was a pleasure to get the chance to experience this live story being told by such a wonderful cast.
The touring company that performed at the Broward Center was absolutely top notch. The voices, (small) orchestra, acting, and sets/staging all made for a delightful afternoon. I have been going to performances there for a couple of years and this was by far the best.
Very well done! Lotsa fun and well acted, especially by the leads. Well worth seeing
It was good kooky and amusing. The acting was entertaining, especially the actor who played 7 characters. Everyone was funny & Good looking. I had a great time and would enjoy it again. It's not what you'd expect as it isn't about tips or how to or even about love per se. The story is so convoluted and really hilarious! I loved it. Had fun! The girls were gorgeous and the main guy was dreamy. The death scenes were cartoon like and again so much fun.
It had a few laughs. It was basically a full on comedy with singing. My girlfriend has seen a lot more musicals than I have and we both agreed that it was just alright. If I had to go back again and spend the money, I'd spend it on something else :P
The play was mediocre. It was very unimaginative and boring!
This show was awesome! We had so much fun watching the plot play out. The cast was amazing and they did so great!!! The singing was on point and the one playing all of the different Dysquith’s was just outstanding and hilarious!!!!!
The show was excellent It was clever and entertaining The special effects were quite creative I highly recommend it
The show was great! Lots of laughs and it kept your interest. The cast was excellent.
The singers were very talented; however, some of the actors put on such thick English accents that it was very difficult to even understand what they were saying.
Sound system bad, hard to understand, not very amusing, good singing voices, we left at intermission
I have been to the Au-Rene Theater countless times. From our usual box seats--and perhaps this was our error--the play came across as rather flat and somewhat difficult to understand. Quite possibly it was due to the few hiccups that the sound engineer experienced during the performance I attended. Perhaps it was us perched on the boxes, rather than on the floor.Or perhaps--and I tend to lean towards this one--we were simply NOT in New York City. I am aware that they were voted Best Musical by a number of groups (Tony, Darma Desk, Outer Critics, Drama League) but none of those means anything to us since it is widely known that it is all political and heavily dependent on the business end of the deal, rather than the artistic angle. Local newspapers have this piece based on the adaptation of Horniman's novel. It was closer to a very average adaptation of that masterpiece of English black comedy: Kind Hearts and Coronets. And I would prefer the film adaptation to the novel. Still, it was a gallant attempt. The singing was highly professional. The acting was as it should be on stage. Scenic arrangement was excellent, given the limited space. But if you relish the story, rent the film and enjoy.
Whoever designed the death scenes deserves all the credit for the success of this musical. There were really no songs that were very good. Most of the jokes were predictable. I considered leaving at intermission.
Terrific show with one actor playing eights parts! This was a different type of play. Music was good but the acting was superb. Sight-lines and sound were very good. Parking is always a pain.
