PRINCE OF BROADWAY's Mariand Torres to Star in KC Rep's 2016-17 Season Opener EVITA
by BWW News Desk - August 16, 2016
Evita begins Sept. 9 and runs through Oct. 2, at KC Rep's mainstage Spencer Theatre, located on the UMKC campus. KC Rep, Kansas City's premiere equity theater, has a reputation for energizing classic musicals with fresh infusions of perspective and creativity. 'This production is about framing the conversation during this election year about who we are and what are we becoming,' says Rosen. 'Evita is about a woman who came from nowhere and through her political will and genius, brought about revolution still being felt today. This production could not be more timely as we watch American politics being redefined in historic measure.'

BWW Review: GENTLEMEN'S GUIDE TO LOVE AND MURDER at Starlight Theatre
by Alan Portner - August 12, 2016
'A Gentlemen's Guide to Love and Murder' is a delightful current work that leans heavily on the British Music Hall tradition of broad comedy and clever plot twists. 'The Gentlemen's Guide' won the 2014 Tony Award for best new musical play. Imagine a game of 'Clue' writ large. 'Gentlemen's Guide' is pure cleverness and fun.

BWW Blog: De'Ja Williams - Missouri All State
by Guest Blogger: De'Ja Williams - August 01, 2016
Every two years, across the nation, State Thespian Societies hold an All-State Play. This year, the Missouri All-State Play is the greek tragedy Iphigenia: the sad tale of what happened to Agamemnon's family in order for the greek ships to sail to Troy. In January of this year, the Missouri State Thespian Conference was held in Kansas City, Missouri where six members of my troupe auditioned and interviewed for spots in the show--in between running to individual events and workshops. It was the most emotional audition process I have ever been a part of. It was like being on a bullet train that makes frequent turns and trying to walk in a straight line.

BWW Review: IF/THEN at Starlight Theatre
by Alan Portner - July 28, 2016
'If/Then,' now playing through Sunday at the Starlight Theatre, is a show the audience wants to love. It is chock full of big songs, great performances, and memorable dancing. Sets are cleverly designed to resemble impressionist versions of everyday New York big city locations that have the ability to gracefully and seamlessly transform one into the next. Orchestrations are lush and fully realized.
