An ode to Josh Allen takes to the stage in Buffalo
A musical all about Bills Mafia and their love for quarterback Josh Allen debuts Thursday.
"I am a very enthusiastic Josh Allen fan," said Colleen Pine, an actor in the musical.
That love manifested itself in "Seventeen: The (Unofficial) Josh Allen Musical." It’s one of seven shorts that make up the Buffalo Quickies at the Alleyway Theatre.
This piece is the brainchild of Amy Jakiel and Philip Farugia.
Seventeen and the rest of the Buffalo Quickies run Thursday through Saturday nights, until March 19.
