Book by Lynn Ahrens, Music by Stephen Flaherty, Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens / Based on The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo by Michael Butterworth / Lucky Stiff is an offbeat, hilarious murder mystery farce, complete with mistaken identities, six million bucks in diamonds and a corpse in a wheelchair. The story revolves around an unassuming English shoe salesman who is forced to take the embalmed body of his recently murdered uncle on a vacation to Monte Carlo. Should he succeed in passing his uncle off as alive, Harry Witherspoon stands to inherit $6,000,000. If not, the money goes to the Universal Dog Home of Brooklyn… or else his uncle’s gun-toting ex. Featuring a tuneful Flaherty and Ahrens score, an ensemble cast of zany characters and small rock combo orchestra, Lucky Stiff is an audience charmer.
Tony Award-winning writing team, Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty’s, first produced show, Lucky Stiff, premiered Off-Broadway at Playwrights Horizons. They later went on to write Seussical, Once On This Island, and Ragtime, among many others!
