Now that I'm back home, I'm glad to have the chance to see what I missed this past season in NY!

Wow, they really take chances on adventurous theatre, don't they?

Those poor people. Haven't they suffered enough?

They're getting 4 out of their 6 musicals within their first touring season...I think that's pretty great.

In buffalo's defense, this is what is available to us this season because We already got Book of Mormon, Priscilla, Sister act, Les Mis, white christmas, and jekyll&hyde.Unfortunately, next season's line up is as good as it gets in the best of markets( and believe it or not, Buffalo is one of THE best selling markets for Broadway tours). As a result, we have to fill up the remainder of the season with returns of wicked and beauty and the beast. What other shows are out there next season...Flashdance?? I think I'd pass

How many times has Wicked played Buffalo?

the real question is how many times has wicked completely sold out in Buffalo...

It really is the best of what is out there. Slim pickings it seems beyond these tours. I've seen most of these in NYC but I will renew. I have no idea how Once will play in these huge houses-I think it will lose alot.

Ghost will be scaled down, which is too bad because the effects were the best part. Is Ghost non-equity?

This will be WICKED's third time in Buffalo. First was in 2008 with Carmen Cusack and Katie Rose Clarke, and second was in 2011 with Jackie Burns and Amanda Jane Cooper.

Wicked and Jersey Boys are cash cows for Sheas. They draw on Canadian tourists too.

Is Ghost non-equity?

Yes, Ghost will be non-equity.

MAMMA MIA! is another cash cow in Buffalo. I think it's been to Shea's three times, as well.

I'm a season ticket holder this year but definitely will not renew for next season. There's just nothing here that excites me at all. And it's not anyone's fault really. It really is slim pickings out there right now and this is the downside to having a spectacular season this year. I would have liked to at least seen ANYTHING GOES on the lineup. I think the season desperately needs a classic, feel good, old-fashioned musical comedy. That's what Shea's audiences love most.

Here's hoping for NEWSIES for '14-'15!

Surprised Newsies isn't touring more places.

ONCE is going to get swallowed up in those huge houses.

ONCE upon a time there was a teeny, tiny musical...
