Talented Nikki M. James is the only possible reason to see this leadenly tongue-in-cheek, whimsical musical misfire. Full Review

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. Full Review

Equal parts diverting and strained, most likely to please the same niche audiences who have given the material a modest stage shelf life for the last quarter-century. Full Review

Lucky Stiff shoots for "zany" and lands at "attention deficit disorder," but the songs aren't bad. Full Review

Rating: .5/4 -- Its irritatingly saccharine tone is such that it shuns grappling with certain characters' dubious and perverse behaviors. Full Review

Product Description:

A British shoe salesman, Harry Witherspoon (Dominic Marsh) travels to Monte Carlo to claim an inheritance from an uncle he never knew, but finds out there is a catch in this musical comedy directed by Broadway veteran Christopher Ashley. The lawyer for the estate explains that in order for Harry to claim the sizable fortune he must take his deceased Uncle Tony (Don Amendolia) to one final party that he always wanted to attend. So in a "WEEKEND AT BERNIE'S" type fashion Harry carts his uncle around in a wheelchair while trying to keep partygoers from discovering that Tony's deceased. At the same time, Harry must evade several women who are trying to claim the inheritance. The film is based on a musical that premiered off Broadway in 1988. Cast includes Jason Alexander, Anthony Skordi, Dennis Farina, Kate Shindle, Mary Birdsong, Nikki M. James and Pamela Shaw.
