"A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder" centers on low-born Monty Navarro. When he finds out that he's eighth in line for an earldom in the lofty D'Ysquith family, he figures his chances of outliving his predecessors are slight. So, he sets off down a far more ghoulish path. Can he knock off his unsuspecting relatives without being caught and become the ninth Earl of Highhurst? And what of love? Because murder isn't the only thing on Monty's mind.Audiences are in for a murderous romp filled with unforgettable music, non-stop laughs and a scene-stealing role for one actor playing all eight of the doomed heirs - who meet their ends in the most creative and side-splitting ways. This is a truly original and fresh new comedy that will delight audiences and leave them begging for more.

Under the direction of Daniel Anderson, director of University Theatre, the ASU student cast includes Angie Calfa, Chloe Choate, Kadyn Kevil, Mitchell Martinez, Sara Dunlap, Dijon Milaness, Emma Cullen, Audrey Paro, Ruby Brown, Ella Dorris and Vero Villalobos.
