Review: NOBODY'S PERFECT at New Theatre & Restaurant
by Alan Portner - December 01, 2025
Overland Park, KS — The New Theatre & Restaurant has built its reputation on polished, crowd-pleasing comedies, and its latest production of Nobody’s Perfect keeps that tradition humming along with bright energy and old-fashioned farce. This show is a four-hander with a super cast starring Jim O’Heir (familiar to audiences from TV’s Parks and Recreation) as Leonard Loftus. Backing up O’Heir are New Theatre veterans Kelly Felthous, Victor Raider-Wexler and rookie KyLee Hennes.

Review: AN IMMERSIVE VOYAGE ON TITANIC at Union Station
by Alan Portner - November 24, 2025
Titanic… An Immersive Experience. The Exhibit has opened at Union Station for a multi-month run through April of 2026. The key word is “Immersive.” “Immersion” means that audience members are meant to feel like they are part of the experience. The Titanic Immersion Voyage is the next logical step towards achieving what it must have been like to have been aboard the RMS Titanic on that cold April night in back 1912, 400 miles east of Newfoundland when she struck an iceberg, foundered, and lost 1500 of her passengers and crew to the icy north Atlantic while on her maiden voyage to New York.

Review: & JULIET at Kansas City Music Hall
by Alan Portner - November 20, 2025
The national tour of “& Juliet” opened Tuesday night for a run through Sunday at the Kansas City Music Hall with enough voltage to transform the theater into a full-color pop arena. “& Juliet” is a clever take and reimaging of Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet.” It is funny. It is hip! It is hugely enjoyed by the audience!

Review: HELLO DOLLY! at The White Theatre
by Alan Portner - November 04, 2025
“Hello, Dolly!” is a crown jewel of American Musical Theatre. “Dolly” is a jubilant blend of romantic comedy, brassy optimism, and showstopping choreography. Opening night for the White Theatre production of “Dolly” was so surprising and memorable that it earned itself a five-star rating from this reviewer and from its audience writ large.
