Lucky Sambo was a 1925 musical comedy staged on Broadway.[1] It originally toured as Aces and Queens in 1923 and 1924.[2] It was by Porter Grainger and Freddy Johnson.[3] It played at the Colonial Theatre (New York City).
Time magazine described it as an imitator of Shuffle Along.[4] A June 8, 1925 New York Times write-up for it at the Colonial Theatre called it an amusing and "agile entertainment".[5] A 1925 advertisement ran for it at the New Hyperion theater. The ad touted it as "The Black Streak of Lightning" and "The World's Fastest Show".[6]
It starred Billy Higgins and Joe Byrd. They were also together in Midnight Steppers in 1927.[7]
Ernest Whitman appeared in a touring version of the show.
