Review: NEXT TO NORMAL at MusicalFare
by Michael Rabice - March 07, 2025
Broadway's great leading lady Elaine Stritch once corrected herself when talking about musicals, when she was describing a Broadway show as a 'musical comedy.' 'Every musical was called a musical comedy in my day,' she quipped. Well, times have changed, and the Pultizer Prize winning musical NEXT TO NORMAL most certainly would not be categorized as a musical comedy, but rather a musical drama.

Review: THE WIZ at Shea's Buffalo Theatre
by Michael Rabice - March 05, 2025
Everything OZ continues these days. L Frank Baum would be flabbergasted to think that his 1900 novel 'THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ' would be as popular, if not MORE popular, in 2025. The endless fascination with the story of young Dorothy being whisked away by a twister from her home in Kansas to the mystical land of Oz has always been a favorite of young and old. The beloved MGM musical starring Judy Garland continues to be a perennial favorite. And in 1975 a little musical called THE WIZ took Broadway by storm, updating the story to present day with an all Black cast. In 2003, the prequel musical WICKED opened and has been dazzling Broadway audiences ever since, to say nothing of the blockbuster movie version in 2024. The 2025 Academy Awards included 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow,' 2 songs from THE WIZ and 1 from WICKED. The fascination continues....

Review: THE LOVED ONES at Irish Classical Theatre
by Michael Rabice - February 24, 2025
When worlds collide, drama ensues. And in the new play THE LOVED ONES by Erica Murray, 4 women meet under the most unusual of circumstances. Buffalo's Irish Classical Theatre is presenting the North American Premiere of this 2023 play. And as can be expected, the dark subjects of death, remorse, unwed mothers and lives lived full of heartbreak are no stranger to the often brooding stories that have been told in the Irish Theatre genre.

Previews: CATS at Starring Buffalo At Shea’s 710 Theatre
by Michael Rabice - February 14, 2025
CATS…Now and Forever. That catchphrase of marketing served the blockbuster Broadway musical well. The show ran for over 18 years, and although often maligned, is indelibly chiseled into the canon of classic musicals. It introduced countless tourists to an immersive theatrical experience, never seen before. In 1982 the Winter Garden Theatre was literally transformed into a larger than life sized back alley, with actors dressed as cats crawling through the audience and climbing across the mezzanine rails. The hit song “Memory” earned Betty Buckley a TONY Award for her portrayal of Grizabella, and Andrew Lloyd Weber cemented his role as blockbuster composer. He was fresh off of the success of EVITA and THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA would be his next huge hit.
