In a Gotham-like city, a terrible water shortage, caused by a 20-year drought, has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets. The citizens must use public amenities, regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging admission for one of humanity's most basic needs. Amid the people, a hero decides that he's had enough and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom!

The play highlights Grace, Irene, and Kathryn who paint dials in the U.S. Radium Plant and are instructed to finely point their brushes by molding the bristles with their mouths while painting. The factory’s new owner, Arthur Roeder, is excited by radium’s promising future and believes in the company’s potential for growth. Roeder’s mindset is supported by Marie Curie, the internationally famous scientist, who believes radium provides many health benefits and could even cure cancer. But soon many of the the girls begin to notice disturbing health issues, and one of their co-workers dies, but her death is brushed aside. The plant tries to keep the girls who are getting sicker from talking to the press, push back their court dates, and deflect any negativity toward the company. Some of the surviving girls finally get settlements and medical coverage for the rest of their shortened lives.

When Barnaby Folcey is murdered at a family gathering at Marlgate Manor, it transpires that he had a motive to murder everybody else, but no one had a reason to want him dead. While dying, he scrawled the letters "b-a-r," which can implicate everyone. While the bizarre group frantically tries to unmask the murderer, people vanish, poison is found in the sherry, and the police take forever to arrive. Meanwhile, there's a secret treasure to be found, a mystifying limerick to decode, and all sorts of doom to be avoided before the killer is finally unmasked and destroyed using one of the funniest methods ever seen on a stage.

A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder

  • Book and Lyrics by Robert L. Freedman
  • Music by Steven Lutvak
  • Directed by Alicia Wolters
  • Performances May 31st - June 23rd, 2024
 
In 2020 LTN was set to produce A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder.  Covid-19 had other plans for us but we are very happy to finally be bringing this show back, as promised. In the same manner of the classic musical How to Succeed In Business without Really Trying, our hero follows some interesting steps to change his fate.  In this fast-paced, Edwardian romp, Monty Navarro must use his charm and wit, and a little nefarious activity, to discover the truth about his background and where his heart truly lies.
A GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE TO LOVE AND MURDER is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by www.MTIShows.com
Tickets: $18 ahead of time, $20 at the door, with flex passes of 6 tickets to be used in any combination for $102.
