AIDS Taskforce Benefit Production "Lucky Stiff"
Shoe salesman Harry Witherspoon lives a luckless life, toiling in
obscurity, until an unexpected telegram turns his life around: a
long-lost uncle has died suddenly, leaving Harry $6 million! There’s
just one catch: Harry has to bring Uncle Tony on the luxurious Monte
Carlo vacation that he never got to take when he was alive! Harry and
Uncle Tony aren’t the only ones headed to Monte Carlo, though – they
cross paths with dog-lover Annabelle Glick, Tony’s mistress Rita and her
brother Vinnie, all of whom are trying to claim the inheritance for
themselves. An assortment of other colorful characters – including a
mysterious Italian stranger, Luigi – pop in and out as Harry and Tony
wheel from one adventure to the next. It’s a wacky cross between
“Weekend at Bernie’s” and “To Catch a Thief,” with music from Flaherty
and Ahrens, the team behind “Ragtime,” “Seussical,” and other Broadway
favorites.
