ARTS: A GENTLEMAN’S GUIDE TO LOVE AND MURDER Readers with weaker constitutions may want to skip this blurb. But those harboring an unspoken affection for class struggle, vials of poison and jailhouse confessions presented in the form of Tony Award-winning musical comedy are invited to take a seat and dig in: Super Summer Theatre is staging Steven Lutvak and Robert L. Freedman’s aptly-named A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder underneath the stars at Spring Mountain Ranch. The story of one Lord Montague “Monty” D’Ysquith Navarro—an impoverished, upstart earl whose rise to the top is stepped with hummable songs and fresh corpses—A Gentleman’s Guide is just the kind of macabre fun we need to chase down the last days of this long, scorching summer. Thru 8/31, 7:30 p.m., $20-$150. Spring Mountain Ranch State Park, supersummertheatre.org. –Geoff Carter

Tinashe

Tinashe

PARTY: TINASHE At last, alt-R&B siren Tinashe has unleashed the second collection of new music in the trilogy she started last year, dropping the sultry Quantum Baby this month, which contains song-of-the-summer viral smash “Nasty” (“Is somebody gonna match my freak?”). That track hit the charts and the internet just in time for Tinashe’s victorious debut at Coachella, where she deftly demonstrated what longtime fans have been touting for years—she can do it all. Unfortunately, she doesn’t currently have a Vegas date on her Match My Freak world tour so we can see that comprehensive skillset onstage, but we’ve always got the clubs—in this case, the often overlooked hip-hop and R&B hot spot Jewel at Aria, where we’ll get a Labor Day weekend dose of Tinashe. 10:30 p.m., $20-$30+, Jewel Nightclub, taogroup.com. –Brock Radke
