A GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE TO LOVE AND MURDER Comes to Wharton Center This Fall

The Tony Award winner for Best Musical, A Gentleman's Guide To Love & Murder tells the uproarious story of Monty Navarro, a distant heir to a family fortune who sets out to jump the line of succession by any means necessary. All the while, he's got to juggle his mistress (she's after more than just love), his fiancée (she's his cousin, but who's keeping track?), and the constant threat of landing behind bars! Of course, it will all be worth it if he can slay his way to his inheritance... and be done in time for tea.

A Gentleman's Guide To Love & Murder is coming to Wharton Center December 13-18, 2016, as part of the MSU Federal Credit Union Broadway at Wharton Center Series. Tickets are on sale now and available at Wharton Center's official ticketing outlets: online at whartoncenter.com, at the Auto-Owners Insurance Ticket Office at Wharton Center, or by calling 1-800-WHARTON.
