Review: THE NOTEBOOK at Shea's Buffalo Theatre
by Michael Rabice - October 08, 2025
Part romance novel, part heartbreak story of the ravages of Alzheimer's, Nicholas Sparks' novel THE NOTEBOOK is now a Broadway musical. No, not of the glitzy singing and dancing stage spectacular variety, but moreso a stage drama with music. The excellent National Touring production opened at Shea's last night, and even the most stoic of souls would be hard pressed not to feel one or more of the complex emotions that the cast works so hard to convey

Review: OR at Irish Classical Theatre
by Michael Rabice - September 26, 2025
A modern day Restoration Comedy with a contemporary gender fluid slant takes to the stage in Liz Duffy Adams' play OR, now playing at Buffalo's Irish Classical Theatre. This polished production brings a modern day sensibility to a 17th century comedy of sorts. Adams pens a play that while set in the late 1600's, carries 21st century morals and social commentary. She blurs the lines between a predestined dichotomy of living by 'either-or' constraints. Must someone be 100% chaste or else a whore, is there only good without a trifle bad in everyone. And does a play need to have an 'or' subtitle. Needless to say, everything is not a black and white situation.

Review: DREAMGIRLS at Shea's 710 Theatre
by Michael Rabice - September 15, 2025
A renaissance of Buffalo born theatre productions at the former Studio Arena Theatre in Buffalo continues to burnish brightly. As I sat in the crowded, newly renovated Shea's 710 Theatre, thinking how the facility had been mothballed a decade ago, Buffalo's hometown pride burst through. On afternoon when the Buffalo Bills were playing, a mix of cultures gathered for a spectacular production of DREAMGIRLS. In a joint production between Shea's 710 and the newly formed AnsariSaxon Productions, the energy was palpable both on and off stage.

Review: DISNEY'S BEAUTY AND THE BEAST at Shea's Buffalo Theatre
by Michael Rabice - August 21, 2025
'Tale as old as time,' the lyric goes in the heart warming production of Disney's BEAUTY AND THE BEAST now playing at Shea's Buffalo Theatre. I knew I was in good hands when the sparkling new production of the beloved classic begins with Angela Lansbury's voice reciting the story that has captured children's minds for years. It was a lovely touch to settle into the familiar story, hearing the voice of Mrs. Potts from the Disney animated film beckon us.
