Lucky Stiff

Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, the authors of Once On This Island, My Favorite Year, Ragtime and the animated film Anastasia exploded on the musical theater scene with this zany, offbeat, and very funny murder mystery farce about an unassuming English shoe salesman forced to take the corpse of his recently-murdered Atlantic City croupier uncle on a week-long vacation to Monte Carlo. Should he succeed, Harry Witherspoon stands to inherit $6,000,000. If not, the money goes to the Universal Dog Home of Brooklyn.

The proceedings are sheer lunacy as Harry comes up against his uncle's insanely jealous and legally blind mistress, her much put-upon optometrist brother and Annabel Glick, a zealous representative from the Universal Dog Home determined to see Harry's inheritance "go to the dogs."

Pictures from the Footlighters' production of Lucky Stiff can be found in the Photo Gallery.
