Steven Lutvak, the composer and co-lyricist of the hit Tony-winning 2013 Broadway musical comedy A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder, died October 9. He was 64.
His death was confirmed by his agent, Olivier Sultan. A cause of death has not yet been disclosed.
“Steven was one of the warmest, kindest, loveliest persons I know,” Sultan said in a statement. “Completely original, completely himself.”
Born in the Bronx on July 18, 1959, Lutvak enjoyed a musical career that included cabaret performance, songwriting, coaching, musical arrangment and two albums The Time It Take and Ahead of My Heart, but had his most significant breakthrough with the 2013 Broadway production of A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder. The production ran for more than two years, won the Tony Award for Best Musical and earned Tony nominations for its three stars Bryce Pinkham, Jefferson Mays and Lauren Worsham.

The first new musical of 2019-2020 Broadway season, “Moulin Rouge!,” is a sumptuous stage adaptation of Baz Lurhman’s film and the “spectacular spectacular” production will draw in crowds like moths to a flame. The tuner is bound to scoop up a slew of Tony nominations next April, but Original Score won’t be among them. Every Best Musical winner since 2013 has claimed the Original Score trophy, but jukebox musicals like this one aren’t eligible for that prize.
“Moulin Rouge!,” which incorporates a parade of pop hits, is not alone in its use of pre-existing music this season. Every new musical coming to Broadway this year uses familiar tunes. “Girl From the North Country” is a Depression era tale told through the music of Bob Dylan; “Jagged Little Pill” uses the songs of Alanis Morissette to chronicle inner pain; and “Tina: The Tina Turner Musical” pulls from the Queen...
