So I was at the show tonight at Shea's....and I had heard so many different things from people. Did I see the First National Touring Company or did I see the Second National Touring Company? Thanks!! :)

Is it just me, or is Wicked always stopping in Buffalo?

Yup, it's the 1st national tour. You can usually tell by the length of the stops. The longer ones are usually the 1st national, as the 2nd one is easier for them to pack up and do smaller stops.

How was the show, btw? I'm going on the 15th and am excited to see it again in my home theatre!

WICKED has only come to Buffalo twice. Granted it was for a month both times, but only twice. Shea's actually can attract quite the audience.

True, Shea's is a huge theatre but they somehow attract a large audience. I remember when Lion King came to Buffalo, it was there for over a month and it made pretty good business.

I went to the Shea's for the first time in February to see Shrek and I'm still amazed how absolutely GORGEOUS the theater was.
