My Fair Lady at Shea’s Buffalo Theatre
My Fair Lady runs until March 6 at Shea's Buffalo Theatre. Photo courtesy of the production. One of the first shows I saw when I was younger was “My Fair Lady.” My mother had won tickets from a radio contest and gave them to my Aunt and I. It wasn’t a magical production.

‘Hello, Dolly!’ at Shea’s Buffalo Theatre

PHOTOGRAPH JULIETA CERVANTES Sometimes, the only exposure one has to a work of theatre is from a community theatre group’s best attempts at pulling it off.

Theatre Review: ‘Come From Away’ at Shea’s Buffalo Theatre
I was in 5th grade on that day that the world stopped. I remember that no one told us anything in school, but the teachers in the hallway were all talking. There was some crying. There were some screams. My friends and I sat there wondering what was happening. We were 10, so we were … Continue reading Theatre Review: ‘Come From Away’ at Shea’s Buffalo Theatre
Theatre Review: ‘Mean Girls’ at Shea’s Buffalo Theatre
I wanted to hate this show. When I saw “Mean Girls” perform at the Tony Awards, I couldn’t even fathom how this was going to last. I didn’t understand the reason for the big Broadway sounding number in the middle of the high school cafeteria. I didn’t understand the song tone changes. I was very … Continue reading Theatre Review: ‘Mean Girls’ at Shea’s Buffalo Theatre
Theatre Review: ‘Hairspray’ at The Kavinoky Theatre
“Hairspray” was the first musical I saved my money to see when it came to Shea’s on the first National Tour. I remember being enthralled by the experience. The music, the story, the fun the actors appeared to be having on stage. I was out of breath for the actors on stage. It was a … Continue reading Theatre Review: ‘Hairspray’ at The Kavinoky Theatre
Theatre Review: ‘The Front Page’ at The Stratford Festival
There are many instances when a play written almost 100 years ago is still as topical in 2019 as it was when it was written in the late 20’s. Politics, greed, corruption, murder, it all makes an appearance in the 1928 dramedy “The Front Page” now showing at the Stratford Festival. This show makes the … Continue reading Theatre Review: ‘The Front Page’ at The Stratford Festival
Theatre Review: ‘Little Shop Of Horrors’ at The Stratford Festival
I’ve seen “Little Shop” at least 5 times, I’ve been in it, and I am a huge fan of the movie. To say that I know the story inside and out would be an understatement. “Little Shop” is always a goofy good time, no matter where it is produced. The awesome thing about this show, … Continue reading Theatre Review: ‘Little Shop Of Horrors’ at The Stratford Festival
