Our First "YELP" Review

Yelp.com is an online community where everyday folk can write a review about anything from the newest fast-food joint to a jewelry store around the corner.  In this case, "Susan Y." wrote the following FIVE STAR review about The Kavinoky Theatre and our current production of "Crazy Mary".

This theatre is so easy to get to, from off the 190 , with very convenient parking, right outside the doors, and a few quick steps up, off the street, I entered the building and took in the smell and look of the beautiful woodwork of the hallway, and headed to the will call window. The line there moved quickly and then I stepped back into time to the rich creams and reds and gold roccoco of the Theatre.

In the center of the stage was a big beautiful red velvet couch and I am not going to tell you more about the stage set up as you simply must try to catch Crazy Mary, while it is still available to do so. I did like how they crafted glass doors and stained glass in the back of the stage with a few pretty chandeliers throughout the building. As you sit and look around you realize they just don't build anything like that anymore.

On this night, people of all ages were here, from students to seniors. The staff quietly and efficiently seating people in order to get started on time.

My recommendations would be if you see something coming up that you want to attend, call in your order as soon as you can to insure that you can attend the show you wish to. I imagine they fill up and sell out quite frequently because of the size that only adds to it's charm.

The accoustics are very good and due to the intimate set up no one on stage has to shout to be heard and everyone who attends has a good seat.

I would come here over that other bigger place in Buffalo any day.

Did I mention the parking was free?
Well, folks...there you have it.
