Sensational Sibella! Scarlett Strallen Says ‘Salutations’ to A Gentleman’s Guide to Love & Murder on Broadway

U.K. stage favorite Scarlett Strallen returns to Broadway on February 10 in A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder. She assumes the role of Sibella, taking over for Lisa O’Hare, who originated the part in the Tony-winning tuner at the Walter Kerr Theatre.

Strallen has previously been seen on the Great White Way in the title role in Mary Poppins. She played Mary Poppins twice in the West End, the second time stepping in for O'Hare. Strallen received Olivier nods for her performances in HMS Pinafore and Singin in the Rain. Other theater credits include A Chorus Line, Candide, Passion, The Music Man and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Written by Robert L. Freedman and Steven Lutvak, A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder follows Monty Navarro, a long-lost member of a noble family who stands to become the next Earl of Highhurst—if he can eliminate the eight other relatives (all played by Jefferson Mays) who precede him in line for the title. The tuner received four 2014 Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Additional cast members include Jeff Kready, Catherine Walker and Carole Shelley.
