Lucky Stiff – Theatre Review, Arizona Broadway Theatre, Peoria
In the musical farce Lucky Stiff, if you listen closely to what’s being sung during the opening number it’ll tell you everything you’re about to see. There’s a chase in a lovely foreign place. There’s a murder in New Jersey, there’s a body and a gun, and there’s a fortune to be won. In fact, […]

42nd Street – Theatre Review, Spotlight Youth Theatre, Glendale
