“We are ecstatic for this upcoming Broadway series and what it means for our community to be launching our fifth and sixth national tour from Shea’s with 'To Kill a Mockingbird' and 'Tootsie,'” said Shea’s Performing Arts Center President Michael G. Murphy. “The launch of these tours brings artists and crews to our region for weeks leading up to opening night. Staying in our hotels, eating at our restaurants, and visiting Western New York’s incredible landmarks. For a one-week engagement, we see an average economic impact of $3 million dollars. Buffalo is a wonderful home away from home for touring Broadway productions.”
