Comedy / 4m, 4f / Unit set Charlotte and George Hay, an acting
couple not exactly the Lunts are on tour in Buffalo in 1953 with a
repertory consisting of Cyrano de Bergerac "revised, one nostril
version" and Noel Coward's Private Lives. This backstage farce by
the author of Lend Me a Tenor brought Carol Burnett back to
Broadway co-starring with Philip Bosco as her megalomanic, drunken
husband and leading man. Fate has given these thespians one more
shot at starring roles in The Scarlet Pimpernel epic and director
Frank Capra himself is en route to Buffalo to catch their matinee
performance. Will Charlotte appear or run off with their agent?
Will George be sober enough to emote? Will Capra see Cyrano,
Private Lives or a disturbing mixture of the two? Hilarious
misunderstandings pile on madcap misadventures, in this valentine
to Theatre Hams everywhere. "Hilarious ...building up its laughs
methodically shtick by shtick...Ludwig stuffs his play with comic
invention, running gags ...and a neat sense of absurdity...Go and
enjoy." - N.Y. Post "Somewhere up above ...George S. Kaufman, Abe
Burrows, Moss Hart and all those clever fellows who wrote the
comedies of yesteryear are rolling with laughter, echoing the
audience last night at ...Moon Over Buffalo...The play is nothing
less than a love letter to live theater." - Boston Herald
