The University of Central Oklahoma's Musical Theatre division presents the Tony Award-winning musical “A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder” at 7:30 p.m., Sept. 26-28, and 2 p.m., Sept. 29, in Mitchell Hall Theatre located on Central’s campus.

Set in Edwardian England, “A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder” follows the charming yet mischievous Monty Navarro, who discovers he is ninth in line to inherit the D’Ysquith family fortune and earldom. Determined to claim his title, Navarro embarks on a darkly comedic journey to eliminate the eight heirs ahead of him—all while balancing romantic entanglements, deception and, of course, murder. With one actor portraying each of the eccentric D’Ysquith family members, the production promises to deliver side-splitting humor and a whirlwind of delightful musical numbers.

“Audiences will be captivated by the show’s witty lyrics, clever plot twists and the remarkable talent of our student performers,” said Justin Larman, the show’s director and UCO musical theatre alumnus.

“It’s a fast-paced, hilarious ride through one man’s quest for wealth and power, with moments that will have you laughing long after the curtain falls.”

Winner of four Tony Awards, including Best Musical, “A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder” is known for its masterful blend of comedy and suspense. Rated PG, the production includes comedic portrayals of murder and may contain some mature themes.

Tickets range from $15-$25 and are free for students with a valid UCO ID. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit go.uco.edu/CFAD-tickets or call 405-974-3375.
