BUFFALO, NY (WKBW-TV) — Buffalo-born Broadway star Michele Ragusa is back in town to perform the lead role in "Hello, Dolly" at Shea's 710 Theatre.
"It's going to be great. I'm so excited!" said the graduate of Niagara University.
Ragusa will be joined on stage by two other Broadway stars - renowned soprano Ali Ewoldt and actor and comedian Kevin Zak. The show will also feature actors, singers, and dancers from Western New York.
The production is a staged concert presented by Starring Buffalo. Director Drew Fornarola says the idea of staged concerts is very popular in New York City.
"It allows the audience to focus on the music which is what our company is all about," Fornarola said.
There are three performances only, starting Friday night. Details on tickets and Saturday Night's cast party at the Hotel Lafayette can be found at the Starring Buffalo website.
