Buffalo Theater: Becky Shaw

Buffalo Premiere
Pulitzer Prize Finalist
Tony Award Nominee
BECKY SHAW
by Gina Gionfriddo
September 12 – October 3, 2026
When Suzanna sets Max up on a blind date with Becky, she has absolutely no idea what she’s about to unleash. What follows is two hours of the sharpest, funniest, most cringey comedy you’ll see all season, about four people who think they’re perfectly fine and are absolutely not. Gina Gionfriddo’s laugh-out-loud / squirm-in-your-seat dark comedy is fresh off a celebrated Broadway run, now in its Buffalo Premiere.
