Amazing

I saw this show at Shea's in Buffalo last night and it was amazing. The voices are so powerful and we all know the storyline so that goes without saying how touching it is. The special effects (subway scenes!) were beyond my expectations. I thought the show would have me in tears but the way it was presented was touching just enough and the character Oda Mae Brown had me smiling and laughing. Kudos to Steven, Katie and Carla in their portrayals of Sam Wheat, Molly Jensen and Ode Mae/Rita Miller! The entire cast is great! ... Read more
