LUCKY STIFF

By Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty

Hope Mill Theatre, May 2024

Lucky Stiff is a madcap, hilarious romp of a musical that follows Harry Witherspoon's journey from England to Monte Carlo…with a rather unusual traveling companion.

Based on Michael Butterworth's novel, The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo, this story of mistaken identities, love affairs, disguises and farcical chases, this offbeat show promises to be a delight for all ages.

Performed by The Arden School of Theatre 3rd Year Musical Theatre Students.
