What would you do if you were told that you had an opportunity to inherit six million dollars?

What if all you had to do to receive this large sum of money was entertain your dead uncle and take him on the vacation of his dreams? Of course, this would involve you taking him on a grand adventure, taking him by wheelchair to Monte Carlo and following his every instruction all from tape recorder. Would you do it?

Harry Witherspoon is placed in this dilemma when his distant uncle passes away suddenly in UD's spring musical 'Lucky Stiff.'

But that's not all. Annabel Glick, a representative of the Universal Dog Home of Brooklyn is also after the money from the will. She hopes to catch Witherspoon making a mistake with the will by not properly following instructions complete the tasks listed in the will herself and win the money for the dog charity.

Witherspoon soon realizes that he is being followed by another woman with a gun disguised as a maid, Rita La Porta, with her optometrist brother Vinnie Di Ruzzio. La Porta may be blind, but she also knows about the money and needs to win it back to save Di Ruzzio, who she framed to have killed Witherspoon's uncle.

A slew of other eccentric characters appear in 'Lucky Stiff,' directed by Kay Bosse.

'I was ready to do something completely fun,' Bosse said. 'It's a musical farce, sheer silliness, sheer insanity, no political agenda, no social relevance. I really love farce ' the show hasn't been done in the area and it's hard. If there is any message it's that it's good to be alive.'

Stage Manager Nickie Ayers said that auditions were held at the end of October, but that they 'hit it hardcore when we got back from break.'

'I am really excited to see everything come together ' lights, sounds, costumes and props,' Ayers said. 'I just hope [the audience] laughs.'

'I am most excited about performing on stage in front of my friends and family,' cast member Maggie Clark said. 'I think that it's a carefree, exciting show that audiences will truly enjoy.'

Her favorite song is 'Speaking French,' because it's 'flashy and fun.' Other popular numbers include 'Something Funny's Going On,' 'Good To Be Alive,' 'Lucky' and 'Welcome Back Mr. Witherspoon.'

'Everyone deserves to see this show. It'll be worth your while,' said Clark.

Be sure to catch 'Lucky Stiff' today or tomorrow at 8 p.m. or next weekend, March 2-4 in the Boll Theatre. Tickets are $6 for students and $10 for the general public.
