This hilarious, offbeat murder mystery musical farce juggles mistaken identities, six million bucks in diamonds, and a corpse in a wheelchair. It all starts when an unassuming shoe salesman is forced to take the embalmed body of his recently murdered uncle on a vacation to Monte Carlo. If he can pass his uncle off as alive, he’ll inherit $6,000,000. If not, well… Based on the novel, The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo, this laugh and a half won the Richard Rodger Production Award and the Helen Hayes Award for Best Musical. Our English gentleman Harry will find love, adventure, and, perhaps, the meaning of family — even if it’s with a deceased relative.
