Synopsis
Join us as we celebrate a return to live theater with a very special staged concert version of the show that was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in March of 2020. While we are unable to fully realize the elaborate design of this hilarious knock-em-dead musical romp, the script will be performed in full with much of the original cast, and you will not leave without having a hearty laugh. Poor, low-born Monty Navarro is desperate to inherit the dukedom by surpassing no fewer than eight members of the well-to-do D’Ysquith family in line before him. Just wait until you see if and how Monty decides to knock off his unsuspecting relatives while in constant danger of being caught and while managing multiple, increasingly challenging, love affairs…all for the grand title of the ninth Earl of Highhurst.
