Singers who Act Needed for Musical "Lucky Stiff"

A shy, sweet-natured and insecure British shoe salesman. Lonely, and beset by dogs and prying neighbors in his dreary boardinghouse, Harry knows that life is passing him by, but he feels incapable of making any changes or taking any chances. He is a dreamer who yearns for more – excitement, adventure, romance, but he’s convinced that he’ll never have those things, until a mysterious telegram arrives.

A representative of the Universal Dog Home of Brooklyn, Annabel is a woman with a natural bent for causes. She takes life very seriously, and denies herself any small pleasures, for fear that if she waits for happiness to knock, it won’t. Instead, she dedicates herself to good works. Annabel is the type who wears protest buttons and carries a bag full of useful things like tire gauges and granola bars. Burned by relationships in the past, she devotes herself fully to her work.

A fiery, hard-edged woman with an extremely volatile nature and a severe case of nearsightedness. Rita is passionate, impulsive, jealous, manipulative and very insecure about her looks. She is also putty in the hands of the man she adores. She can be incredibly charming one minute and incredibly childlike the next. Things often get out of control when Rita is around. She lives in New Jersey, wears tacky and outlandish outfits that she thinks are amazing, and is a chain smoker.

Rita’s brother, an optometrist. A nervous and conservative man, a pillar of the community and a person who would never do anything out of the ordinary, risky or controversial. Vinnie is a neurotic pushover who is the polar opposite of his sister. He is an uptight hypochondriac, and is allergic to most things, including Rita’s cigarette smoke.

A boisterous and gregarious Italian, who is seemingly wealthy and well traveled. Luigi is a charming and charismatic man of the world, and he loves the good things in life – the best cigars, the best champagne, and the best suits. Although he seems to make friends everywhere he goes, there is also something mysterious about him. Everywhere Harry goes, Luigi seems to pop up.

A fabulous French nightclub singer.

Though deceased, this is a fun and physically comedic role, as the corpse often lurches forward in his wheelchair, rolls onto the floor, etc … Uncle Anthony also comes to life in a musical nightmare sequence.
