Getting away with murder can be so much fun... and there's no better proof than the
knock-'em-dead hit show that's earned unanimous raves and won the 2014 Tony
Award® for BEST MUSICAL— A Gentleman's Guide To Love & Murder!
Coming direct from New York, where a most gentlemanly NPR critic said he'd "NEVER
LAUGHED SO HARD AT A BROADWAY MUSICAL," GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE tells the
uproarious story of Monty Navarro, a distant heir to a family fortune who sets out to
jump the line of succession by – you guessed it – eliminating the eight pesky relatives
(all played by one fearless man) who stand in his way. All the while, Monty has 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 his inheritance… and be done in time for tea.

The world premiere of Finish Line: A Documentary Play About the 2013 Boston
Marathon will be presented by Citi Performing Arts Center in association with Boston
Theater Company at the Citi Shubert Theatre
March 14-26, 2017.
Finish Line is directed by Boston Theater Company Artistic Director Joey Frangieh. It is a
story of recovery, resilience, and determination that focuses on how a community came
together to heal and grow stronger, rather than on the act of violence itself. The script is
created verbatim from dozens of interviews. Among those interviewed are survivors,
runners, doctors, police officers, journalists, clergy, students, and many others. Notable
interviewees who contributed their stories include Police Commissioner William Evans,
news anchor Maria Stephanos, Life is Good founder John Jacobs, Boston Strong coauthor Dave Wedge, 1976 Marathon winner Jack Fultz, and Boston Globe photographer
John Tlumacki. The play is co-created by Joey Frangieh and Lisa Rafferty.
Finish Line hosted 16 sold-out workshop performances in April 2016 and will now
launch a refreshed and reconfigured production at the Shubert Theatre in March 2017
through a partnership with Citi Performing Arts Center.
