“I’VE NEVER
LAUGHED SO HARD
AT A BROADWAY
MUSICAL!”—NPR
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, 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.

It’s a holiday concert filled with the joy of singing when
the great-grandchildren of the cherished Sound of Music
von Trapp family join musical theater star Stephanie J.
Block and the NSO Pops. The von Trapps have a
“folk-pop sound that’s uniquely theirs” (USA Today)
that blends beautifully with the “simply stunning”
(The Washington Post) Stephanie J. Block (Elphaba in
Broadway’s Wicked, Liza Minnelli in Broadway’s The
Boy from Oz). Featuring traditional favorites alongside
fresh new tunes and arrangements, this concert sports
seasonal spirit in spades—and with The Washington
Chorus, a visit from Santa Claus, and the Concert Hall
festively bedecked, the holidays have never been brighter.
These Broadway powerhouses
team up for a hit parade of
contemporary musical theater
tunes, including fresh favorites
from The Last Five Years,
Bonnie and Clyde, The Bridges
of Madison County, and more!
