With their marriage crumbling, a husband and wife acting team try to hold their family's theater company together long enough to get legendary film director Frank Capra to cast them in his film remake of The Scarlet Pimpernel. But between a pregnant ingénue and a surprise visit from their daughter, things go horribly and comically wrong. Moon Over Buffalo is a fast-paced farce that ran for more than 300 performances on Broadway and was written by Ken Ludwig who created the hit comedy Lend Me a Tenor. Learn More

...so the director said to Donald Rumsfeld "we have a problem...only two of the players in the cast can sing...what do we do??." and Rumsfeld replied..."you don't put a musical production with the cast you wish you had but the ones we're stuck with...so...tell them to wing it and imagine they're singing in the shower"....so the director replied "should we turn a shower on"....Written on Jun 14 2010

The musical was very well written - the musical score by David Shire was the whole show as far as I'm concerned. The melodies stuck out throughout the entire musical with beautiful chord changes & flowing melodies all along. The lyrics fit well for what was happening in the story line, but the performers singing abilities suffered! It would have been a huge success with the right voices. I agree with the other "write-ups" regarding the actors not being able to sing.Written on Jul 06 2010
The two actors (Luise & Lloyd) who played the older couple (Arlene & Alan) who found out they were going to have a baby in their later years, were the most believable in their roles. I would give them 4 stars.
I thoroughly enjoyed the music - it was what made the play/musical for me.

Of the twelve performers only two could sing. I would have rather sat at a dentist chair. We left at intermission. Only stayed that long as we did not want to be rude. Very painful to hear and watch. The sad part, was if it was not a musical it probably would have been OK. But every few minutes another song. I wish I had earplugs!!!Written on Jun 23 2010

Actors could not project or should have had mics; acting was o.k but you would not rush out to tell anyone you have to see this.Written on Jun 22 2010
