Review: AMADEUS at Shaw Festival
The Shaw Festival seems to be having a small tribute festival to Shaffer brothers as it is presenting two of their known pieces this season. The dark mystery SLEUTH by Anthony Shaffer is now playing to great acclaim at the Court House Theatre and more recently and the comic drama AMADEUS by Sir Pe…
Review: SLEUTH AND ONE FOR THE POT at SHAW FESTIVAL
An embarrassment of artistic riches has yet again convened in Niagara on the Lake for this season’s Shaw Festival. Two very different plays are given world class productions sharing many of the same talents. Last week I attended Anthony Shaffer’s psychological thriller SLEUTH at the intima…

Review: JEEVES AND WOOSTER IN PERFECT NONSENSE at Shaw Festival
That belovedly droll English valet of old, Jeeves, has resurfaced to the delight of everyone in the the charming play JEEVES AND WOOSTER IN PERFECT NONSENSE now onstage at The Shaw Festival. After the recent demolition of the Royal George Theatre in Niagara on the Lake Ontario, the Shaw Festival h…
Review: A FEW GOOD MEN at Road Less Traveled Productions At Shea’s 710 Theatre

Review: HIS GIRL WATSON: A SHERLOCK NOIR at Alleyway Theatre

Review: FUNNY GIRL at Shaw Festival
When FUNNY GIRL opened on Broadway it was a smash hit in 1964 and would jettison the career of Barbra Streisand. It became a staple on repertory companies, regional and community theatres and summer stock. But the looming memory of Streisand's iconic performance on stage and then on screen seemed …
Review: GHOST BROTHERS OF DARKLAND COUNTY at Road Less Traveled Theater
An unlikely pair creating an unlikely piece of theatre essentially sums up the new production of GHOST BROTHERS OF DARKLAND COUNTY now playing at Road Less Traveled Theater. Yes, horror writer Stephen King has paired up with musician John (formerly Cougar) Mellencamp to write a musical. And someho…
Review: THINGS WITH FRIENDS at ALLEYWAY THEATRE
An existential 'thing' rooted in theatre of the absurd and gritty reality with undertones of self destruction and weighty Christian symbolism. That could not even begin to summarize the slick yet often perplexing production of THINGS WITH FRIENDS now completing it's run at Buffalo's Alleyway Theat…
Review: WATER FOR ELEPHANTS at Shea’s Buffalo Theatre
Sometimes people really do run away and join the circus. Author Sara Gruen had great success with that idea in her award winning novel WATER FOR ELEPHANTS, and Hollywood soon after took the story to the silver screen. Now a Broadway musical has hopped on the bandwagon and the result is often a …
