Lucky Stiff

Lucky Stiff is a madcap, hilarious romp of a musical that follows Harry Witherspoon's journey from England to Monte Carlo...wth a rather unusual traveling companion.  Based on Michael Butterworth's novel, "The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo," Harry receives the unepeted news that he has inherited a fortune from his late Uncle Anthony, on the condition that he takes Anthony's dead body on a special trip to Monte Carlo.  If Harry fails, the money will go to the Universal Dog Home of Brooklyn.  However, also hot on the tail of Uncle Anthony's money is Rita, Anthony's lover with whom he embezzled $6 million behind her husband's back.  And hot on Rita's tail is her brother Vinnie, who has been blamed for the crime!  With mistaken identities, love interests, disguises, farcical chases, and an omnipresent corpse, Lucky Stiff is an offbeat murder mystery with a difference.
