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

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

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

Village Voice
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.

Variety
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.

Description by OLDIES.com:
A young, down-and-out British shoe salesman (Dominic Marsh) learns that he's inherited $6 million from an American uncle. However, in order to get the money he must take his uncle's corpse on a wild, parties-and-gambling fueled trip to Monte Carlo or lose it all to a Brooklyn dog shelter. While there he's pursued by a desperate, put-upon optometrist (Jason Alexander) and his controlling, trigger-happy sister (Pamela Shaw), an avaricious French chanteuse (Kate Shindle), a mysterious Italian playboy (Dennis Farina), as well as a young woman from Brooklyn (Nikki M. James) dead set on getting that money for the dogs.
