From the Tony Award–winning creators of Ragtime and Suessical, this zany musical romantic comedy opens on mild-mannered Londoner, Harry Witherspoon, as he learns he’s inherited six million dollars from an estranged uncle. But there’s a catch: he must escort his late uncle’s embalmed body to Monte Carlo, pass him off as alive, and follow the will's every bizarre instruction to the letter. If he fails, the money goes to the Universal Dog Home of Brooklyn -- or to his uncle’s loose-cannon ex!
As Harry scrambles to follow the outlandish itinerary, he’s pulled into a whirlwind of eccentric strangers, suspicious schemes and unexpected love. Grab your passport and buckle up- Lucky Stiff is a wild, heartwarming farce that will leave you in stitches.
