A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder

Wonderful, funny, entertaining, Tony-award-winning musical with fantastic music, good acting, and witty humor.  I had low expectations that were exceeded by my experience.  The performance I attended received a standing ovation.

Pros:  Amazing music with complex harmonies, clever, hilarious lyrics; good acting, fantastic choreography, staging, lighting, sound; good unpredictable plot

Cons: Acting is good but not spectacular take-your-breath-away; fake accents; musical trios and duets in round or canon were a bit over-done; American attempt at British wit falls short (wrong idioms & sensibilities).

Net:  See it! Very enjoyable experience!
