LUCKY STIFF
April 7, 2003
at the Pasadena Playhouse

Book & Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens
Music by Stephen Flaherty

Directed by Michele Spears
Musical Direction by Ed Martel
Produced by Maura Knowles & Kecia Lewis

Based on "The Man Who Broke The Bank at Monte Carlo" by Michael Butterworth

LUCKY STIFF is a non-stopm fast-paced - a truly unique musical marking of the debut of Ahrens and Flaherty (RATIME, ONCE ON THIS ISLAND) as a potent theatrical force. The wonderfully tuneful story centers on Harry, a shy shoe salesman who must cart his uncle's corpse around Monte Carlo in order to earn his 6 million dollar inheritance lest it go to the Dog Home of Brooklyn. And, Harry hated dogs. Funny and memorable? With songs like "Something Funny's Going On" and "Good to be Alive", you bet! WINNER - 1988 RICHARD RODGERS PRODUCTION AWARD for NEW MUSICALS!
