Nestled in the heart of Florida's beautiful Treasure Coast, Vero Beach has long been celebrated for its pristine beaches, laid-back charm, and vibrant arts scene. Among its true cultural icons stands Riverside Theatre, a beloved non-profit professional theater that has been entertaining and enriching the community since 1973. Recognized as one of Florida's premier cultural institutions, Riverside Theatre draws over 100,000 patrons annually with top-tier Broadway-quality productions, children's programs, comedy nights, and free outdoor concerts. It's not just a venue — it's a cornerstone of what makes Vero Beach such a special, arts-loving place to live and visit.

Kicking off the new year with wicked wit and side-splitting humor, Riverside Theatre proudly presents the Tony Award-winning musical A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder on the Stark Stage from January 9 to February 1, 2026. Directed by Tony nominee Hunter Foster, this production stars Jake Levy as the cunning Monty Navarro and the versatile Dan DeLuca in the tour-de-force role of all eight ill-fated D'Ysquith family members!
The story? In Edwardian England, humble clerk Monty discovers he's next in line (ninth, to be precise) for the title of Earl of Highhurst and its vast fortune. His solution? A hilariously inventive series of "accidents" to help his aristocratic relatives meet their timely ends. Amid the mayhem, Monty juggles romance with the glamorous Sibella Hallward and the sweet Phoebe D'Ysquith. Will love conquer all... or will the noose tighten first?
Prepare for unforgettable songs, razor-sharp lyrics, elaborate quick-changes, and the most creative (and comical) deaths you'll ever see on stage. It's a murderous romp that's as charming as it is devilishly funny!

These visuals perfectly capture the show's sophisticated Edwardian flair and over-the-top comedic brilliance!
Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical (plus more for Book, Direction, and Costumes), A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder is a modern classic that blends the sophistication of classic farce with laugh-out-loud contemporary humor. Think Downton Abbey meets a delightfully dark comedy of manners — all set to a sparkling, memorable score.
In Vero Beach, where live theater brings the community together year after year, this production is a shining example of why Riverside Theatre remains a cultural treasure.
