I'm curious why Ken Barnett was replaced. It is a wonderful role and he was terrific. I saw the show twice at The Globe. It's much like you say Meyershultz and it is not dark at all. The story is completely different but it has a bit of the feel of Drowsy Chaperone. The pace is quick and the visual humor is more clever. This is hard to explain but the silliness in Gentleman's Guide seemed a little more sophisticated than the silliness in Drowsy.
The second time I saw it I appreciated the movement more. Mays is fabulous but I personally feel it's the direction- the pace and movement of the characters by Darko Tresnjak which makes the show work so well.
It's great fun. You will see.
