Starlight Theatre Reveals 2027 AdventHealth Broadway Series

Starlight Theatre has announced its 2027 AdventHealth Broadway Series with a lineup of four incredible, week-long shows—this time with two additional opportunities to see each production. In 2027, Starlight will offer matinee performances on Saturday and Sundays at 2 p.m. Season tickets are on sale now for all performances and available online, by calling (816) 363-7827, or by visiting the ticket office at 4600 Starlight Road, Kansas City, Mo., 64132.

Matinee performances come with the conclusion of Starlight's UniquelyKC Capital campaign project. Between the 2024 and 2025 summer seasons, two additional towers were added to the historic theatre's footprint, and in October 2026, the final phase of construction began—which will bring a new state-of-the-art canopy over approximately 2,500 seats, creating more shade, greater comfort, and opportunities for earlier performances and expanded programming. Development partners include GastingerWalker& and JE Dunn Construction.

'We're excited to welcome Kansas City audiences back to Starlight for a Broadway season filled with unforgettable stories, beloved characters, and something for every generation,' said Lindsey Rood-Clifford, President + C.E.O. of Starlight. 'What makes 2027 especially meaningful is the opportunity to consistently offer Saturday and Sunday matinees for the first time. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community and the improvements made possible through our UniquelyKC Capital Campaign, we're creating more opportunities for families, friends, and theatre lovers of all ages to experience the magic of summer at Starlight.'
