Buffalo, NY – Next Friday (9/16) is the annual Curtain Up! festival in Buffalo's theater district. But some theaters have already started their seasons, including the Alleyway, which is showing the musical Columbus. The musical of Johnny Cash tunes, Ring of Fire, continues at the Studio Arena. Also, Jim and Tony play a musical sample of Noel Coward singing, as the MusicalFaire theater presents a revival of If Love Were All.
