The Bliss family is ultra Bohemian. Mother is a retired actress who makes a crisis out of every scene and father is a novelist. The daughter and son are handsome and ill mannered. One weekend all announce they are expecting a guest: mother has invited an athletic youth who is in love with her, Sorel a diplomat, Simon an intense young woman and David a flapper (a type he is studying for a novel). The guests receive an unusual and rude reception. Soon mother is paired off with the diplomat, Sorel with the athlete, Simon with the flapper, and father with his son's young woman. Dramatizing for all it is worth, Judith first fears she must tell her husband about her romance, then realizes her daughter is younger and more attractive to young men so she enacts a scene of noble sacrifice, and, noticing her husband's flirtation, she follows with a poor unhappy wife scene. The family is used to such displays, but the guests are bewildered. A Noel Coward favorite!

Tony Award winners Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty exploded on the musical theatre scene in 1988 with their first off-Broadway show, this zany, offbeat, and very funny murder mystery farce. Called "a delicious, zany throwback--pure frosting, but whipped to perfect consistency" by the New York Post, the show, based on the novel "The Man Who Broke The Bank At Monte Carlo" by Michael Butterworth, is a classic musical  farce, complete with slamming doors, mistaken identities, six million bucks in  diamonds, and a corpse in a wheelchair. The story revolves around an unassuming English shoe salesman who is forced to take the embalmed body of his recently-murdered Atlantic City uncle on a vacation to Monte Carlo.  Should he succeed in passing Uncle off as alive, Harry Witherspoon stands to inherit $6,000,000. If not, the money goes to the Universal Dog Home of Brooklyn, or else to the gun-toting wife of the casino owner! First produced at Playwrights Horizons off-Broadway (Richard Rodgers Award) the show later went  on to win Washington's  Helen Hayes Award for Best Musical.

Roles:  5 men:  singing/speaking roles; ages 20's - 60's.  Various voices

            4 women:  singing/speaking roles; ages 20's - 60's.  Various voices.

            1 man: non-speaking part.  Appears on stage throughout show in a wheelchair.
