Broadway in Cincinnati has done it again, offering up a comedy musical so delicious and funny, your cheeks will literally hurt on the way home from laughing so hard. Coming direct from New York for a limited engagement, the Gentleman’s Guide tells the hilarious story of Monty Navarro, a distant heir to a family fortune who sets out to jump the line of succession, by any means necessary – while juggling his mistress and fiancée. The story grabs you from the very beginning and entertains throughout. The witty dialogue, quirky characters, clever sets, and pure charm of Monty (played by Kevin Massey,) will be enough to convince you that this show is the ultimate guide to a great evening out.
