A Gentleman's Guide to Love & Murder at The 5th Avenue July 12–31 Getting away with murder can be so much fun, and there's no better proof than this knock-'em-dead show that won the 2014 Tony Award for best musical. Direct from New York, A Gentleman's Guide to Love & Murder tells the uproarious story of Monty Navarro—a distant heir to a family fortune—who sets out to jump the line of succession by any means necessary. He's got to juggle his mistress (she's after more than just love), his fiancée (she's his cousin, but who's keeping track?), and the constant threat of landing behind bars! Of course, it will all be worth it if he can slay his way to inheritance riches and be done in time for tea. This new musical will have you dying of laughter. Tuesday, July 12; 7:30 pm Sundays, July 17, 24, 31; 1:30 pm Thursdays, July 21, 28; 8 pm Friday, July 22; 8 pm Wednesday, July 27; 7:30 pm $98 – $118; other performances may be available upon request THE 5TH AVENUE Kinky Boots Through May 8 Contact Club Programs for availability. THE PARAMOUNT Motown The Musical June 9–11 It began as one man's story, became everyone's music, and is now Broadway's musical.
