    The Wagner College Theatre production of “A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder” runs on the Main Hall stage over the weekends preceding and following Thanksgiving weekend, Nov. 17-19 and Dec. 1-4. The curtain opens at 8 p.m. for shows on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening, and at 2 p.m. for the Saturday and Sunday matinees.

    Written by Steven Lutvak and Robert L. Freedman, “A Gentleman’s Guide” opened on Broadway in 2013 and was the winner of four Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Based on the 1907 novel, “Israel Rank: The Autobiography of a Criminal,” the show follows the young Monty Navarro as he discovers that he is not simply the son of a poor washerwoman but is actually a distant heir to the Earl of Highhurst and the D’Ysquith family fortune. Armed with this knowledge — and a little poison — Monty sets out to hasten his climb up the line of succession, using a great deal of charm and a dash of murder. Along the way he will be pulled between two love interests, Sibella and Phoebe, and must contend with a bevy of eccentric relations. Who will find love — and, more importantly, who will get out alive?

    “A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder” is being directed by Wagner College Theatre professor and Tony Award winner Michele Pawk, with music direction by Lauri Young, scenic and projection design by Anthony Freitas, costumes by Brendan McCann, hair and makeup by Spring Super, lighting by Vicki Neal, sound by Daryl Bornstein and technical direction by Brian T. Sharron. The cast includes Hayden Verbanas, Sophia Constantino, Grace Beaudet, Joshua Romeo-Mullin, Kelli Griffin, Mikayla Thrasher, Sadie Corley, Emma Luxemburg, Liam Henry Ellis, Aidan Leach, Alexander Ullian, Sydney Cox, Mackenzie Quinn-Ross, Gina Prince, Jack Dunham, Nicholas Nuñez and Valencio Lazarczyk.

    “A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder” captures all the musical charm of Broadway’s Golden Age and sparkles with biting word play and infectious melodies. After opening with “A Warning to the Audience,” the cast delivers a lavish outpouring of scintillating songs including “I Don’t Understand the Poor,” “Poison in My Pocket,” “Why Are All the D’Ysquiths Dying,” “I’ve Decided to Marry You,” “Stop! Wait! What?!” and much more.
