This 2014 Tony-winner for Best Musical is still fresh and intoxicating years later. Crisp direction, superb musicianship, and pitch-perfect performances ensure an engrossing evening of delightful English Music-Hall operetta mixed with the fierce satire of a modern theatre piece. A GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE TO LOVE AND MURDER earns its stripes, and if you are presented with the opportunity to experience the zaniness and delight it has to offer, that is an opportunity not to be missed.

Broadway in Fort Lauderdale, and Bank of America present the NETworks Presentations national tour of A Gentleman's Guide to Love & Murder at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts.

Freedman and music and lyrics by Steven Lutvak, the musical comedy is based on the 1907 novel Israel Rank: The Autobiography of a Criminal by Roy Horniman, which was also the source for the 1949 British film Kind Hearts and Coronets.

From the amazingly gothic opening number, aptly titled, A Warning to the Audience through the Finale the actors in this production not only never let the energy wane, they amazed the audience at every plot twist.

The Tony-winner for Best Musical, A Gentleman's Guide to Love & Murder, will play eight performances at Overture Center in Madison, Wis. Tues., Oct. 3 Sun., Oct. 8 during its first national tour.

FEINSTEIN'S/54 BELOW, Broadway's Supper Club, presents The Light Rail on August 23, 2017. Stinging from old and recent loss, childhood neighbors Sam and Lindsay reunite by chance on Seattle's light rail. As they begin to fall in love, they slowly learn that healing can be found in the most unusual places, and in other people just as broken as themselves. In this original contemporary musical by Kira Stone, innovative movement and music combine to depict the realities of people living with mental illness, and the power we all have to live imperfectly and beautifully. Take that first step.

New York Musical Festival presents THE LIGHT RAIL, with book by Chelsea Hickman, and music & lyrics by Kira Stone, at The Green Room 42 at Yotel, running July 23 - July 24.

The new production of LES MISERABLES at Hale Centre Theatre in West Valley is a feast for the eyes, ears, and soul. It is the most unique (and among the best) of the productions of this show ever in Utah, and it offers enough beauty in every sense of the word for it to be well worth the time and ticket prices. It is implausible that a better LES MISERABLES will be presented here any time soon.

Hale Centre Theatre (HCT), Utah's premiere family theatre, is one of the first community theatres in the country to present the Broadway classic Les Miserables, which runs Feb. 14 through April 19. The theatre's center stage will provide a uniquely intimate telling of the poignant story. Check out just-released promotional photos below!

Hale Centre Theatre West Valley's production of RAGTIME is exquisite in every way. It could easily be the best theatrical production in Utah this year.
