by Michael Rabice - April 20, 2022
Romance, Russian espionage and a bad case of amnesia in short order sum up the plot of the latest Broadway tour to land in Buffalo as ANASTASIA took to the stage at Shea's last night. Inspired by the animated 1997 musical film of the same name and endless other films and books, the story of a Russian countess somehow surviving assassination continues to entice.

BWW Review: STAGE KISS at Irish Classical Theatre
by Michael Rabice - April 09, 2022
A modern day farce is unfolding, and I'm not speaking of the 2022 political scene or a worldwide pandemic. but rather onstage in Sarah Ruhl's comic play STAGE KISS. Buffalo's Irish Classical Theatre is presenting this Off-Broadway play that has become quite popular among regional theatres. The Brits seem to have mastered this genre of comedic story telling style better than anyone, succeeding greatly in hits like NOISES OFF, and more recently THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG. Coincidentally, all of these successful plays deal with troupes of amateur theatre actor's shenanigans as they work through the 'creative process.' Audiences are merely asked to suspend disbelief and go along for a rollicking ride of silliness.
