Review: Casa Mañana Theatre's WEST SIDE STORY
by Pati Buehler - Nov 4, 2025
Who doesn't recognize the music, the dancing and the story? Casa’s own Parker Esse is at the helm of directing and choreographing this high-energy piece, along with Phil Reno as musical director/conductor. Both are brilliant.

Previews: CATS at Starring Buffalo At Shea’s 710 Theatre
by Michael Rabice - Feb 15, 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.

Review: MARY POPPINS JR. at Casa Manana, Ft. Worth TX
by Pati Buehler - Apr 22, 2024
Mary Poppins is pretty much a familiar name among parents and children everywhere. Disney's film is the Halmark of popular children's films. However, seeing this as a live theater production is a thrilling experience for young and old. Having seen this gem live onstage three times, I never tire of its popularity and life lessons.
