Review: THE RIPPLE, THE WAVE THAT CARRIED ME HOME at KC Rep
by Kelly Luck - March 19, 2023

Review: FORBIDDEN BROADWAY at Starlight Indoors
by Alan Portner - March 10, 2023
“Forbidden Broadway” the musical parody performs on the actual indoor stage (not the Butterfield Stage) at Starlight Theatre in Swope Park in front of an audience of about 500 wildly amused patrons. “Forbidden Broadway” is a thorough skewering of all those Broadway shows you’ve either seen or hoped to see. Broadway sees its own reflection in a funhouse mirror and has a big belly laugh at its own expense.
