A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder

A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder

“A murderous romp filled with unforgettable music, non-stop laughs…” (MTI)

The most-nominated show of the 2014 season, winning Best Musical at the Tony Awards as well as the Drama Desk Awards, the Outer Critics Circle Awards and the Drama League Awards.

Produced by Andrew Barnett Directed by Alexandra Dietrich
Music Direction by David Flowers

Low-born Monty Navarro finds out that he’s eighth in line for an earldom and figures his chances of outliving his predecessors are slight. Can he knock off his unsuspecting relatives without being caught and become the ninth Earl of Highhurst? And then there’s love, because murder isn’t the only thing on Monty’s mind….

“Inspired and hilarious. ‘A Gentleman’s Guide’ will lift the hearts of all those who’ve been pining for what sometimes seems a lost art form: musicals that match streams of memorable melody with fizzily witty turns of phrase.” – Charles Isherwood from New York Times

At Marblehead Little Theatre, 12 School Street, Marblehead
January 26 – February 4, 2024

What’s the Hype About?

Accidentally on Purpose (AOP) isn’t just another improv troupe. They’ve taken New England by storm, and their founders have even graced Boston stages with hits like the Awesome 80’s Prom & Claddagh Bing Irish/Italian Wedding Show. Picture a comedy style that’s a mashup of “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” sprinkled with a bit of Saturday Night Live and The Carol Burnett Show vibes—yes, it’s that good!

But Wait, There’s More!

The show isn’t just a spectator sport; it’s an interactive experience! Audience members are invited to throw in scene suggestions and even volunteer to be a part of the comedy chaos. The AOP team isn’t just composed of comedians; it’s a diverse cast featuring professionals from all walks of life—doctors, authors, teachers, tradesmen, salespeople, and corporate executives. Imagine the richness and hilarity that these different perspectives bring to the table. They’ve been crafting laughs together for over a dozen years, and it shows!

Ready for an evening that promises laughs, surprises, and moments you’ll discuss for weeks to come? 

Don’t miss this opportunity for a night of unparalleled comedy and fun. It’s not just a show; it’s a community event that promises to leave you smiling long after the curtains close. See you there!
