  1. Lucky Stiff Marissa Trowbridge 4A Lynn Ahrens & Stephen Flaherty

  2. Welcome Back, Mr. Witherspoon • Harry Witherspoon • A thirty-two-year-old English, shoe salesman. He is plagued by the common house dogs and wants more than anything to get out of his small flat in dreary London. • He knows that life is passing him by, but feels incapable of making any change.

  3. I sure could use a dog • AnnabellGlick • A thirty-year-old representative from the Universal Dog Home of Brooklyn. She takes life very seriously and denies herself any fun. She waits for happiness to come knocking, which it won’t. • She carries a bag full of “useful things,” such as granola bars and maps.

  4. Fancy Meeting You Here • Rita La Porta • A forty-two-year-old, legally blind woman. She is passionate, impulsive, jealous, manipulative, and very insecure about her looks. • Things often get out of control when Rita is around.

  5. “I’m going to Monte Carlo, with a Corpse.” • Harry Witherspoon receives a telegram from “The Law Offices of Hobbes and Hobbes.” • When he arrives, he discovers that his recently deceased Uncle, Anthony Hendon, has left him an inheritance of six-million dollars. • In order to receive the money, he has to take his Uncle’s dead body on a trip to Monte Carlo.

  6. I’ve got to go to Monte Carlo • Rita La Porta comes to her brother’s Optometry Office to confess. • She was having an affair with Anthony Hendon, and she embezzled the six-million dollars from her current husband, and she wants it back. • Her brother, Vincent (Vinnie) Di Ruzzio, is now forced to come to Monte Carlo with her because she placed the blame for the lost money on him, and her husband has a contract on his life.

  7. It’s good to be alive • Harry runs into Annabel, literally. • She is there, taking notes, and if he does one thing wrong, his inheritance goes to the dogs. • He is forced to do everything, with her at his heels. • Rita and Vinnie are now in Monte Carlo, searching for Witherspoon.

  8. Have you seen Him? Them? It? Her? • Running from Rita, Annabel and Harry lose Uncle Anthony’s body. • They ask the French Bellhop and an Italian Nun to help them in the search. • A drunk maid returns the body to them, just in time for Rita to hold them at gunpoint. • Luigi saves them, but there’s a twist. • Vinnie has courted a French Showgirl and plans to take the money. • Reunions and the inevitable romance.

  9. I should start living, before I die • Time: 1980’s • Locations: Atlantic City, New Jersey. London, England. Monte Carlo, Monaco.

  10. I should be dancing… • The show is riddled with hints to the ending of the show. • It is extremely witty without being too over the top. • People are funny, whilst being completely serious and honest. • The changes of scenery are ridiculous. • The fact that Harry is required to do things with Uncle Hendon that most normal people never do in a lifetime is absurd. • I don’t like dogs…

  11. May I get a blue spotlight please? • People aren’t so ?characterized” in real life, but certain aspects remain true. • Affair’s are never good. • Happiness will not come unless you look for it. • Siblings are not to be trifled with, especially younger siblings. • “That which is beautiful is not always good, but that which is good is always beautiful.”
