WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Welcome to Nashville - a town full of colorful characters all chasing after the very same dream: a smash hit record. To beat the odds and strike gold (or, better yet, platinum), it takes one great song, serious talent, or lots of luck - and preferably all three. Featuring an array of musical styles with salutes to Country, Broadway, Vaudeville, Bluegrass, Pop, and even Hawaiian, Lucky Guy weaves a tale of down-home dreamers and low-down schemers all willing to do whatever it takes to come out on top in the cut-throat world of Music City, USA.

Laughed and Cheered
We knew of Leslie Jordan through Will and Grace and Boston Legal. After meeting this fascinating actor in a coffee shop in Hells Kitchen, we decided to go to the show. What a great surprise ! This "little" not so little theater is really nice, the show was wonderful, songs and dancing were loads of fun, and the whole audience laughed, laughed, and laughed some more, right before the standing ovations. If anyone didnt enjoy it, they must not have taken their meds that night !!
Dont go online for tickets...go to the theater for good seats we paid $44 each and our seats were just fine.

Better the second time
I saw this again after its official opening and brought some friends. I was even more impressed this time. Massey has several excellent scenes and is easily the best singer/actor here. Merman and Jordan are not great singer/actors but they carry the comedic portion of the show. The Buckaroos act as a Greek chorus and keep popping up when lease expected to move things along.

Musicals don't get much frothier than Willard Beckham's
Lucky Guy, now playing at the Little Shubert Theatre. And while this corny tuner has the potential to be a wearisome excursion into camp, it boasts a comic zestfulness that's as refreshing as a cool glass of lemonade on a hot summer day and a heart as big as a stretch of a Midwestern plain, ultimately winning theatergoers' hearts and earning their laughter.
The show tells the lighter-than-air-story of how G.C Wright (Jim Newman) manages to save his tiny recording studio from being foreclosed on by his nasty used car magnate cousin Big Al (Leslie Jordan) thanks to a song called "Lucky Guy" -- a sure-fire hit that's been penned by Bill[...]
