‘Humbug!’ actor talks about upcoming show

It would be hard to miss Alan Safier in Saturday’s production of “Humbug!” at the Batavia Fine Arts Centre.

The actor, who previously earned rave reviews in “Say Goodnight Gracie,” plays all 27 characters in the one-actor musical.

“It is the most difficult thing I’ve ever done in my entire career,” Safier said. “I’ve been doing another one-man show called ‘Say Goodnight Gracie’ in which I play George Burns. And this is 100 times more taxing. When the holidays are over and I’m back to touring with ‘Say Goodnight Gracie,’ it’s going to be like a paid vacation for me, because I only have to play one character and I don’t have to sing 12 songs.”

What do you think of people using fireworks near their homes?

That shouldn't be tolerated. It's dangerous.
I'd never do it, but I'll watch others.
It's OK so long as the fireworks are legal.
It's not a problem. It's just a way to celebrate.
I have no opinion.
