Lucky Stiff
Music by Stephen Flaherty. Book and lyrics by Lynn Ahrens.
An MTI show
This murder mystery farce propels an English shoe clerk into a lunatic mix of a murdered Atlantic City croupier, his near-sighted jilted mistress, her henpecked brother and several hundred (offstage!) dogs. Witherspoon will inherit $6,000,000 if he can successfully go on holiday with his uncle, the late-departed croupier, in Monte Carlo for a week. If he doesn't pull it off, the money goes to the Universal Dogs Home of Brooklyn - and if there's one thing in life Harry hates, it's dogs! With a tuneful score and a well-oiled plot, plus the ultimate happy ending, Lucky Stiff guarantees hilarity for one and all.
