Cast Set For LUCKY STIFF at Actors Theatre of Indiana

Actors Theatre of Indiana's (ATI) Lucky Stiff will open January 30 thru February 15. The cast has been announced that will be part of this wildly funny, fast-paced musical murder mystery.  

With book and lyrics by Lynn Ahrens and music by Stephen Flaherty, Lucky Stiff is based on Michael Butterworth's novel The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo, The show is a deliciously offbeat blend of farce, mystery, and musical comedy.

The story follows shy Englishman Harry Witherspoon, who learns he has inherited a fortune from his late Uncle Anthony — but only if he agrees to take the old man's body on one final trip to Monte Carlo. What follows is a globe-trotting escapade involving a determined charity representative, a sharp-witted femme fatale, her scheming brother and a trail of comic chaos fueled by disguises, double-crosses and rapid-fire surprises.

Lucky Stiff runs January 30 through February 15 at The Studio Theater, ATI's home at The Allied Solutions Center for the Performing Arts.
