Hit Broadway Musical A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder for The Masque and Milnerton Playhouse
The Tony Award-winning musical and hit Broadway show A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder comes to the Cape this winter.
Presented by The Masque and Milnerton Players, this razor-sharp, brilliantly funny, acclaimed musical comedy is about ambition, inheritance, and just how far one man is willing to go to get what he believes he deserves.
It will be performed at The Masque in Muizenberg from 22 May to 6 June followed by a run at Milnerton Playhouse from 19 June to 5 July.
Directed by CATA-winner Kyla Thorburn, musical direction is by Barend Van Der Westhuizen, who also performs in the show, and is himself a recipient of a number of CATAs.
Book and lyrics are by Robert L. Freedman, with Music and lyrics by Steven Lutvak. A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder is based on a novel by Roy Horniman.
The production is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI www.mtishows.com
Christine Kaye, Vice-Chair of The Masque says, “We are delighted to be partnering with Milnerton Players to present this deliciously fun, darkly comic, very typical farce. This is going to be a highlight on Cape Town’s cultural calendar.”
The story: When the charming but penniless Monty Navarro discovers he is eighth in line to inherit the earldom of the wealthy D’Ysquith family, he sets out to improve his prospects – by eliminating the competition. One by one. With style.
Featuring a gloriously witty book, and a deliciously clever score, A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder is a fast-paced romp full of elegant mayhem, dark humour, and delightful surprises. A murderously good time awaits.
