Starring Buffalo

Starring Buffalo was founded in 2018 to connect, entertain, teach, and above all, produce top-quality musical theater experiences in Western New York. Each Starring Buffalo show is a collaboration among three groups: visiting stars from Broadway, Buffalo’s finest professional artists, and outstanding area students and community members. Inspired by NYC’s City Center Encores! Series, these groups join forces to create large-scale, short-run, concert versions of musicals at affordable prices. Each year hundreds of artists and students participate in the mainstage shows, creating dozens of good paying union jobs in the region, unforgettable experiences for the students, and world class theater for our audiences.
