Review: ROCKY THE MUSICAL at MTKC Pro


by Alan Portner - April 15, 2024

The Music Theatre Kansas City – (Pro) KC Premiere production of the 2014’s Broadway version of “Rocky the Musical” is surprisingly worth your time.  It is hard to have avoided Sylvester Stallone’s “Rocky Franchise” beginning as a sleeper, low budget film hit in 1976.  So far there have been six “Roc...

Review: CLUE at Kauffman Center


by Alan Portner - April 04, 2024

Three quarters of a century following its first North American game release, a top-quality touring play version of “Clue, A New Comedy” has appeared set in a mansion located in suburban Washington, D.C.   At the risk of sounding like a bad horror novel or even worse “B” movie, all the action takes p...

Review: GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE TO LOVE AND MURDER at White Theatre At The JCC


by Alan Portner - March 19, 2024

Review: SHOUT! THE MOD MUSICAL at Black Box Theater


by Alan Portner - March 12, 2024

Shout! The Mod Musical” is more of a loose musical revue, than a musical play. It is costumed and set for London during the period I was emerging from my teenage cocoon years into young adulthood. I clearly remember the performers who introduced the music from this show into the canon....

Review: THE PROM at White Theatre


by Alan Portner - January 30, 2024

Review: GASLIGHT at Union Station


by Alan Portner - January 20, 2024

They say you never forget your first.  That was certainly the situation for a former Scotland Yard Police Inspector named Rough (played by John Rensenhouse).  Oddly, Inspector Rough had no known first name.
