In LUCKY STIFF, a young, down-and-out British shoe salesman named Harry Witherspoon takes his dead uncle to Monte Carlo for the best time of his life -- a week of fun, dancing, gambling and sun. If the young man fulfills his uncle's request to the letter, he will inherit the 6 million left to him. If he doesn't, the money will go to the Universal Dog Home of Brooklyn. As Harry races from casino to nightclub to beach to bedroom with his dead uncle, he is chased by a desperate optometrist, an avaricious showgirl, a mysterious Italian playboy and a trigger-happy murderess, as well as a young woman dead set on getting that money for the dogs. Guns go off, champagne corks pop, nightmares come to life, romance blossoms, dogs bark, and everyone sings! A zany, frothy, colorful and fast-paced musical comedy with a very happy ending.

The show, based on Michael Butterworth's 1965 novel "The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo," was written by Lynn Ahrens & Stephen Flaherty and first performed at New York's Playwright's Horizons where it won the Richard Rogers Production Award before going on to London and hundreds of international productions. Ahrens adapted the play for the big screen, while Flaherty and Ahrens wrote additional songs.

Christopher Ashley, director of the 2010 Tony Award-winning Best Musical "Memphis," directed the musical farce. Ashley enlisted veteran Broadway and Hollywood choreographer Joey Pizzi("Burlesque,") to stage the film's dance numbers. The movie version was filmed in Los Angeles and Monte Carlo. It is set to be released on 2015.
