Scarlett Strallen Tapped for A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder on Broadway

The drop dead gorgeous Scarlett Strallen will take over the role of Sibella in A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder on February 10. She will replace Lisa O’Hare, who will exit the Broadway production on February 8.

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.
