Bumbalo is a funny guy.\" -Marilyn Stasio, New York Post \"Funny ... Lively ... Bumbalo demonstrates a healthy satiric wit, aimed at both straights and gays, and a lively sense of comic dialogue.\" -Bernard Weiner, San Francisco Chronicle \"NIAGARA FALLS dares to tread in delicate areas ... Bumbalo scores some sharp character comedy ... the play's overall treatment of a situation and a rejected social class who receive little 'gay' treatment is most welcomed.\" -Nicholas de Jongh, The Guardian (London) \"Funny and incisive.\" -Rob Baker, Daily News \"Bumbalo must have secretly taped parents across the country. He outdoes Neil Simon ... It is a finely written work.\" -John Kerr, Bay Area Reporter \"A maximum of both humor and pathos ... I could have cheered.\" -James M Saslow, The Advocate \"There is a basic humanity here that one finds in very few plays.\" -Michael Bronski, Gay Community News \"NIAGARA FALLS is a tender, canny, and frequently hilarious comedy.\" -Alan Stern, The Boston Phoenix\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadway Play Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47585747861655,"sku":"9780881453652","price":1448.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780881453652.webp?v=1774961520","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/niagara-falls-9780881453652","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
