The Broadway hit “Jersey Boys” finally comes to Buffalo Wednesday April 21, 2010. 70,000 are expected to see the musical about Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons during the show’s three week run, performing till May 09, 2010 at Shea’s Performing Arts Center , and that is expected to bring more money to downtown Buffalo.
Michael Schmand, Executive Director of Buffalo Place, says, “it shows if you invest your money, and I think with the city and Shea’s investing in the expansion of Shea’s with the hope of bringing in big shows, it helps everyone in downtown Buffalo.” He says restaurant and bar owners are excited to have such a show in town as well.
Schmand adds “Jersey Boys” could mean a new clientele having the chance to see downtown Buffalo for a night. “We have an unbelieveable amount of opportunities to experience downtown Buffalo. This only makes it better,” says Schmand.
Schmand says folks should feel safe and secure while downtown, and with “Jersey Boys” and other events downtown, “it’s a downtown people can be proud of.”
What a great resource!
