Feature: REFLECTIONS ON RUSSIA: GMU CAST MEMBERS ON AN EPIC COLLEGE THEATRICAL EXPERIENCE
by Elliot Lanes - Nov 26, 2025


Every once in awhile you go to see a show not knowing what the final product is going to be.

Previews: CATS at Starring Buffalo At Shea’s 710 Theatre
by Michael Rabice - Feb 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.
