YOU SHOULD BE SO LUCKY by Charles Busch is a screwball comedy about a timid young electrologist, Christopher, whose altruism leads to a ten-million-dollar inheritance, but only after he accidentally shocks his benefactor causing a fatal heart attack. Will the will be contested? You betcha. Sit back and laugh a minute as you watch the crazy antics of Christopher's daffy sister, the boyfriend, the materialistic daughter of the deceased and Wanda , the talk show host. |

CHRISTOPHER : Are you sure you should be moving around? ROSENBERG : It was just a little dizziness. CHRISTOPHER : No, you blacked out completely. ROSENBERG : This humidity is deadly for senior citizens. |
CHRISTOPHER : What is all this? POLLY : The effects of a lifetime. |
ROSENBERG : Polly, you sound British? POLLY : Well, I've lived for many years in England. CHRISTOPHER : She studied at The Royal Academy and played one season in Manchester. |
POLLY : It's kismet that brought me here. You live like some pathetic eccentric immersed in a world of shadows and dusty corners. Meet my brother Miss Havisham. |
CHRISTOPHER : You really look great. Let me take a picture. Where's the camera? POLLY : Sweetness, there's no time. You turned me into a princess. |
POLLY : I shan't be too early. Good-by darling. |
POLLY : You know that the dress made a complete sensation. I'm sure the Times will run a photo in the Style section. |
POLLY : He's dead. CHRISTOPHER : No, he i's not! Wake up. POLLY : His heart isn't breathing at all. |
LENORE : For half an hour, my husband has been trying to find a parking place for the LeSabre. |
LENORE : Shortly before my father passed on, he made a rather startling change in his will. It's stated that half his estate should go to this unknown person. By all rights it should go to his only child, Lenore Marjorie Rosenberg Stupack. |
LENORE : We find the contents of my father's alleged last will and testament to be completely and utterly unacceptable. |
LENORE : My Father was literally strangling the breath from my body! I had to scream at the gestalt therapist, "Daddy, let me breath!". |
POLLY : If you bring up Mommy and Daddy one more time . . . . Bury the dead. Get on with your life. Think of this amaryllis and bloom, Christopher, bloom. |
|
CHRISTOPHER : The electricity was messed up again. I re-plugged all the extension cords. All I did was turn on the microwave and the Mrs. Leeds Craft-A-Matic flung forward, hurtling her over the credenza. |
WALTER : Polly is going to sit on the sidelines while you go on "The Wanda Show"! |

|
WANDA : Lenore, when you first heard the contents of your father's new will, what went through your head? LENORE : Wanda, it was as if wild jackals had ripped apart my spleen. |
WANDA : You feel Christopher has plotted against you? LENORE : From the moment my father stepped into that electrolysis parlor, this young man had his eyes on one thing and one thing only, my father's wallet. |
LENORE : I sware they can hear me down the street. "Give me back my dad! Please, return him to me!" |
CHRISTOPHER : Walter, I've been thinking a lot about us. WALTER : What are you trying to say? |
Rosenberg (through Christopher) : Walter, there is an old saying, "Es vet zich oys-hailen fur de chasseneh." |
|
ROSENBERG : Shalom.
|
Christopher : We're giving none of this money away. For one thing, we've got to move out of this dump. Wanda, it's a good thing your here. Saves on the dime. Wanda : I'm here for you , bub. Christopher : Kids, we're going back on TV. Walter, I'm going to need you help. |
