Lucky Stiff

Imagine having to take a vacation to beautiful Monte Carlo in order to claim your inheritance, and the only catch is that you must also take with you the corpse of your relative who left you the money! Shoe salesman Harry Witherspoon stands to inherit six million dollars from his recently murdered uncle, provided he first takes him on a vacation to Monte Carlo. If he fails, the money is turned over to the Universal Dog Home of Brooklyn. But Harry is certainly up for a test of wills, as he must face his uncle’s insanely jealous – not to mention legally blind – mistress and her much put-upon optometrist. Throw in an overzealous representative for the dog home, and you have Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty’s musical Lucky Stiff!
