It is presented by arrangement with JOSEF WEINBERGER LIMITED on behalf of Music Theatre International of New York.

About the show: "In 1988 Ahrens and Flaherty exploded onto the musical theatre scene with Lucky Stiff, a classic musical farce, complete with slamming doors, mistaken identities, a stash of diamonds, and…a corpse in a wheelchair! Harry Witherspoon, an unassuming English shoe salesman, is forced to take the embalmed body of his recently murdered, Atlantic City casino managing Uncle Tony on a vacation to Monte Carlo. Should he succeed in passing his uncle off as alive, he will inherit $6 million, but if he doesn't the money goes to the Universal Dog Home of Brooklyn…or perhaps it will go to the gun-toting wife of the casino owner? But what's the hen-pecked optometrist from New Jersey doing in the South of France dressed as a maid…or the Arab…or the Italian? Definitely, Something Funny's Going On!"

Lucky Stiff features, James Winter (Jersey Boys) as Harry Witherspoon, Abigail Jaye (Evita) as Annabel Glick, LuCy Williamson (End Of The Rainbow) as Rita La Porta,Miles Western (Pageant) as Vincent Di Ruzzio, with Mark Hayden (The Mousetrap) as Luigi Gaudi, and Ryan Bernstein, Thomas Lloyd, Samantha Ridings and Jenna Ryder-Oliver.
