Just ask Ralph Johnson, who is performing the title role in the musical “Lucky Stiff” this winter in a co-production that runs Jan. 28-Feb. 19 at Scripps Ranch Theatre, then moves to North County for a second run with Oceanside Theatre Company March 3-19.
In the 1988 Stephen Flaherty-Lynn Ahrens musical, Tony’s will requires that Harry dress Tony’s body in a suit, tie, hat and dark sunglasses, so nobody at the casinos will know he’s dead. But even behind the sunglasses, Johnson said he plays the role with his eyes closed so he won’t react or laugh if something funny or unexpected happens onstage.
“I adore Kathy. She’s a treasure in this community,” he said. “You think back about the hundreds or thousands of people you meet doing theater and I’ve met so many lifelong friends who I’ve learned so much from over the years.” In the years that followed, acting became Johnson’s passion, so he worked day jobs in the mortgage, publishing and security industries to support his theater work. Over the past 33 years, he has appeared in more than 100 productions, both in San Diego and elsewhere around the country.
