- 60The New York TimesNeil GenzlingerThe New York TimesNeil GenzlingerWith songs about shoes and dogs, Lucky Stiff couldn’t be sillier, but Mr. Marsh and especially Ms. James make it an enjoyable curiosity for fans of musical theater.
- 50New York PostSara StewartNew York PostSara StewartOverall, the insubstantial Lucky Stiff feels like community theater with an extravagant budget.
