pTony Award winners Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty explodednbsp; on the musical theatre scene in 1988 with their first off-Broadway show, thisnbsp; zany, offbeat, and very funny murder mystery farce. Called "a delicious, zanynbsp; throwback--pure frosting, but whipped to perfect consistency" by the New Yorknbsp; Post, the show, based on the novel "The Man Who Broke The Bank At Monte Carlo"nbsp; by Michael Butterworth, is a classic musicalnbsp; farce, complete with slamming doors, mistaken identities, six million bucks innbsp; diamonds, and a corpse in a wheelchair. The story revolves around an unassumingnbsp; English shoe salesman who is forced to take the embalmed body of hisnbsp; recently-murdered Atlantic City uncle on a vacationnbsp; to Monte Carlo.nbsp; Should he succeed in passing Uncle off as alive, Harry Witherspoon stands tonbsp; inherit $6,000,000. If not, the money goes to the Universal Dog Home ofnbsp; Brooklyn, or else to the gun-toting wife of the casino owner! First produced atnbsp; Playwrights Horizons off-Broadway (Richard Rodgers Award) the show later wentnbsp; on to win Washington'snbsp; Helen Hayes Award for Best Musical, and is now performed frequently across thenbsp; country./ppFor complete information on this andnbsp; other Ahrens and Flaherty shows, as well as linksnbsp;to purchase CDs, vocalnbsp; selections and other publications, please go tonbsp;a href="http://www.ahrensandflaherty.com/"www.AhrensandFlaherty.com/au. /ustrong /strong/p
