From the Tony-Award–winning creators of Ragtime and Suessical, this zany musical-romantic-comedy opens on mild-mannered Londoner, Harry Witherspoon, as he learns he’s inherited six million dollars from an estranged uncle. But there’s a catch: he must escort his late uncle’s embalmed body to Monte Carlo, pass him off as alive, and follow the will's every bizarre instruction to the letter. If he fails, the money goes to the Universal Dog Home of Brooklyn -- or to his uncle’s loose-cannon ex! As Harry scrambles to follow the outlandish itinerary, he’s pulled into a whirlwind of eccentric strangers, suspicious schemes and unexpected love.
Grab your passport and buckle up - Lucky Stiff is a wild, heartwarming farce that will leave you in stitches.. It was the first collaboration for the team of Lynn Ahrens (book and lyrics) and Stephen Flaherty (music). The show is based on the 1983 novel The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo by Michael Butterworth.
Directed by Robyn Conner, music direction by Megan Pritchett
The cast includes Chuck Winkler, Michael Stuart, Kevin Smith, Jason Lucio, Spencer Lail, Jill Klopp Turner, Kirk Kelso, CB Feller, Shannon Embry, and Robyn Conner.
