About the show: A murderous musical farce with rapid-fire wit, a dazzling score…and a body count. When a charming but penniless young man discovers he’s ninth in line to inherit the D’Ysquith family fortune, he begins a killer climb to the top, eliminating the eight heirs who stand in his way. The result is a wickedly funny battle for love, legacy, and a life of luxury.
The play is directed by Lara Toner Haddock and assistant directed by Sarah Fleming Walker with music direction by Lyn Koenning.
