  3. Hey-Hay, Going to Kansas City


Groundbreaking African-American choreographer Donald McKayle presents Hey-Hay, Going to Kansas City.
A celebration of the golden age of jazz, the ballet pays tribute to the era of nightclubs and dance halls when Kansas City was considered the ‘Paris of the Plains.’ Experience what the New York press called a “shrewd romp that put a smile on everyone’s face.”

Kansas City Ballet also brings you the nationally acclaimed Common People, choreographed by Margo Sappington and set to the spicy vocals of actor William Shatner with music by Ben Folds, plus a world premiere titled Energy Made Visible by internationally acclaimed Karole Armitage. You’ll be dazzled by this unique night of dance!
