"Innovative choices, inspired comic acting, and a satisfying romance... Americana’s production is sharply directed by Brance Cornelius.... Creativity is required in this production. Besides providing a few drawers and shelves for Harry’s Monte Carlo hotel room, none of the set pieces or props are literal. A stiff leash becomes a dog, a spinning umbrella serves as a roulette wheel, and an outstanding dream sequence, a funny yet strangely unsettling nightmare (“Welcome Back Mr. Witherspoon”) includes a vertical bed formed only by a sheet held vertically in front of Harry as he pictures his return to obscurity. So, while “Lucky Stiff” is not exactly avant-garde, it is quite inventive."
-Jim Dorman, Patriot Ledger
"As Directed by Brance Cornelius, the company performs at breakneck pace... and timing that clearly shows this cast was extraordinarily well rehearsed."
-Jack Craib, South Shore Critic
