Lucky Stiff Reviews
“With 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." – Neil Genzlinger (New York Times)
“Its irritatingly saccharine tone is such that it shuns grappling with certain characters' dubious and perverse behaviors.” – Wes Greene (Slant Magazine)
