“This is probably the most beautiful theater I've ever been in,” Director Saheem Ali said of Shea’s Buffalo. “It's just stunning. I can't believe how majestic it is. Our little ‘Buena Vista Social Club’ (set) feels like a little postage stamp, and it's so wild because the first theater we ever performed in was a 300-seat theater. So we've gone from 300 seats to 3,000 seats.”
