"... a wonderful production...featuring a cast comprising of some of Hale's best performers who have each appeared in numerous shows at Hale. While it may be slightly convoluted and quirky, Lucky Stiff is a charming and fun show with a big heart, and with a talented cast, direction that ensures the comedy moments sparkle, and gorgeous creative elements, the production is a fun musical-comedy romp....Director Cambrian James does a wonderful job with his talented cast to make the humorous hijinks comically sharp without losing the charming warmth at the center of the show. The cast are all exceptional. Nicholas Gunnell exudes an appropriate quirky charm as Harry, with a singing voice that shines on his many songs. As Annabel, Brie Wadsworth is equally as peculiar as Gunnell, with a warm singing voice and a sunny disposition...Alaina Beauloye and Hector Coris are equally hilarious as Rita and Vinnie....While Lucky Stiff may not be a completely perfect show, it is incredibly fun. Hales' production is lively, with an exceptional cast of actors who know how to get big laughs from these comically rich characters, sharp direction, and rich creative elements that result in a winning and warm musical-comical delight."   -Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway (click here to read the complete review)
