BUFFALO, N.Y. — You have two chances to see Starring Buffalo's Titanic.
The Titanic is part of Starring Buffalo's series, which is modeled after the New York City encore concert series.
Actors will be on stage performing from the book. The show is like a staged concert, so you get a show without the full production element. It's anticipated that you walk away appreciating the musical score and the book.
Karen Harty plays a variety of roles. "Titanic is really about the story of the real people who were on the Titanic, their actual lives. What happened to them and it's heavy. There are some parts of it that are, you know, pretty, pretty sad, but it's really about the resilience of people who survive."
Jay Dref, a Buffalo native who attended Juilliard said "The music is just, it's absolutely stunning. When I was offered a role in this production, I could not pass it up because I had heard about the show, never really had listened to the full thing, you know at the full length. And I did and it, like I said, it's it's the music is so beautiful."
Dref has traveled the world and has performed with the world's best-selling soprano Sarah Brightman.
The shows are Friday, May 31 at 7:30 pm, Saturday, June 1 at 2:00 pm and 7:30 pm at Shea's 710 Theatre , Buffalo, NY 14202.
