"Urie gives a performance of immaculately pitched quirkiness, camply bounding around all awkwardly waving arms. He’s obviously having great fun, and it’s the sort of welcoming fun that invites us right in. This is top quality: buy now."
The Telegraph
"What I'm going to tell you could not possibly have happened with a person as famous, talented, and litigious as Barbra Streisand."
When 'My Passion for Design' was published in 2010, little did Babs know that it would inspire one of New York's most talked about shows. The handsomely mounted coffee table book featured glossy spreads of Streisand's various homes around the country, and seemed like it would pass by as nothing more than an innocuous celebrity curio, but one section in particular piqued the interest of playwright Jonathan Tolins. Namely the section about the full-scale model shops hidden deep within her Malibu home.
For Alex, an out of work actor and sole employee of this curious place, his life is a mixture of confusion and hilarity, permeated by frequent visits from Ms Streisand, looking to peruse her treasures, and make a the occasional purchase. It's up to the fascinated Alex to play along with the charade and indulge the whims of the living legend.
Buyer and Cellar opened Off-Broadway in 2013 to rapturous reviews, winning the Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Solo Show. Its star Michael Urie chose to stay on for the US tour, and now brings the show to London. His performance is a thing of wonder, inhabiting multiple roles including the lady of the house herself, playing the situation for broad laughs one moment and shrinking back into the dark recesses of the character's anxieties and insecurities the next. A sweetly short performance piece that explores the nature of the fame game, for both those who play it and others who are fascinated observers, Buyer & Cellar is a hugely charming night at the theatre and will fit perfectly into the intimate setting of the Menier Chocolate Factory.
