Something funny’s going on in Bloomfield. From the creators of Ragtime and Seussical, Lucky Stiff is a well-oiled musical farce which concerns Harry, an mild-mannered English shoe salesman, who must take his recently murdered (and embalmed) uncle to Monte Carlo in order to inherit six million dollars. If he doesn’t fulfill the task, all of the money will go to the Universal Dog Home in Brooklyn, and Harry hates dogs. 4th Wall Theatre presents this production at Westminster Arts Center. With zany characters and plenty of plot twists, this show is a delight from beginning to end.
