A gentleman's guide to love and murder

“Despite the high body count, this delightful show 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. Bloodlust hasn’t sung so sweetly, or provided so much theatrical fun, since 'Sweeney Todd' first wielded his razor with gusto many a long year ago.” ~The New York Times

Monty Navarro, a penniless clerk, is informed after the death of his mother that he is ninth in line to inherit the earldom of Highhurst, controlled by the wealthy D’Ysquith banking family. Monty’s attempts to take his rightful place in the family are thwarted right from the top, so Monty decides to woo his way into the family starting at the bottom. Monty climbs the ladder rung by rung through a series of hilarious misfortunes and “happy” accidents. Meanwhile, Monty is trying to court moneyminded Sibella Hallward —until he finds himself drawn to young Phoebe D’Ysquith. How will all these convoluted story lines come together?
