Lucky Stiff

Performances: 5-8 November 2025, Betchworth Village Hall

Director: Fiona Kuhn-Thompson
Musical Director: Paul Thompson

From the writers of Ragtime and Seussical comes a madcap musical caper bursting with laughs, romance, and roulette.

Meet timid shoe salesman Harry, who must wheel his uncle’s corpse through Monte Carlo for a shot at six million dollars - while a short-sighted accidental murderess, a seductive nightclub singer, and the world’s most earnest dog-lover complicate everything.

With sparkling songs (“Good to Be Alive,” “Times Like This”), dazzling disguises, and whip-smart farce, Lucky Stiff zips from East Grinstead to the French Riviera at breakneck speed.

Grab your friends, place your bets, and join us for a killer night out where the only sure thing is big, uproarious fun.

This is the first BODS full production staged completely 'in the round'. The audience will be seated all around the action which takes place in the middle of the hall rather than on the stage
