Great experience with few exceptions
by EmyH on 3/19/24Shea's Performing Arts Center - BuffaloThe venue, Shea Theatre in Buffalo, is gorgeous but there are a few seats around the edges of the theatre that should remain empty since visibility is so obstructed — and my seat was one of them. The presales made purchasing quality seats impossible. That theatre is too large for a visual performance - its better for music. This musical should have been at a smaller theatre. The ushers/staff at Shea's are top notch and were very helpful, kind, and knowledgeable. There are not enough restroom stalls to comfortably accommodate guests during intermission to allow returning to your seat in the allotted time. The play itself is exceptional. The effects, lighting, performers, and orchestra is outstanding. I do wish I could have experienced all of it, but again my view was limited by poor seating - partially because of structures on the front sides of the stage that possibly are used to house lighting. My experience in Buffalo overall was great since every business/restaurant I visited had very kind and friendly staff.
