A Gentleman’s Guide to Love & Murder

With noble, historical Hamilton having taken the world by storm, it’s easy to forget there were ever other kinds of musicals. Like, say, the comedy. It’s been a while since we’ve witnessed a raucous comedy — and a dark one at that. A Gentleman’s Guide to Love & Murder, opening 7:30 p.m. Tuesday and slashing its way through the audiences at Winspear Opera House, 2403 Flora St., with various show times through Aug. 28, has reminded us that on Broadway, you can get away with laughing at murder. Poor, poor Monty has eight heirs to pick off before he can get his inheritance, rather than risking his relatives spending it before he can. Plus, he’s got some rather complicated issues in the way of romance. It’s a hard lot balancing love, greed and murder, but you don’t have to kill for tickets if you love Broadway: They start at just $25.
