Summary: The Steps to Genius
Comment: When Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty released their magnificent piece of theatre, 'Ragtime' as a follow-up to 'Once on this Island', theatre people across the world knew that a new force had joined the decades old Lloyd-Webber/ Sondheim competition for audiences. However, it is in the privacy of ones home that these two musical, and the preceeding one, 'Lucky Stiff', show their aptitude. 'Lucky Stiff' is no 'Ragtime', but it is easy to see, through songs like 'It was Nice' and 'Dogs Versus You', how this duo has developed a magnificent symmetry between catchy tunes and powerful, poetic lyrics. The humour inherent in Lucky STiff's plot, the story of a young man whose uncle dies and leaves him a large sum of money, only to find out via cassette tape that his past uncle expects him to take the decorated corpse around Monte Carlo on a final holiday, leads to few opportunities for the songs to provide real dramatic resonance, the very thing that makes Ragtime such a worthwhile listening experience. While Lucky STiff provided a strong foundation upon which to develop the musical skills Ahren and Flaherty are renowned for, it was only, and will remail the first step in that journey. It cannot, therefore, be rated as highly as the others, but is still a worthwhile addition to your musical theatre collection.
