Lucky Stiff

Shoe salesman Harry Witherspoon is stuck in a rut until, one day, he discovers he is to inherit his uncle's fortune; but, there is a catch. To claim the inheritance Harry has to take his uncle's body around the French Rivera for one last adventure! Chasing him for the same fortune are a dog lover from Brooklyn, a short-sighted Mafia Boss' wife, and an optometrist. Add to that a host of other zany characters and you've got the recipe for a mad cap evening.

Lucky Stiff is the first musical from the Tony Award winning team of Lynn Ahrens & Stephen Flaherty, the writers of Ragtime, Seussical, A Man of No Importance and, currently on Broadway, Anastasia. Based on the book The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo by Michael Butterworth it was first performed at Playwrights Horizons off-Broadway in 1988, and won the Richard Rodgers Award for that year.
