Review: CLUE at New Theatre Restaurant


by Alan Portner - July 07, 2025

Madcap! Frenetic! Hilarious! It is the New Theatre Restaurant production of CLUE. Clue is a comic murder-mystery tale based on the 1985 film of the same name which was based on the 1949 Parker Brothers board game that just about anyone who grew up in that period will surely have played at some point...

Review: MY FAIR LADY at Theatre In The Park


by Alan Portner - June 30, 2025

The strength of this production is unquestionably the superior musical treatments, including an excellent orchestra of twenty conducted by     Matt Richardson. Each of the leading characters is about as musically strong as it gets....

Review: THE ROOMMATE at Kansas City Actors' Theatre


by Alan Portner - June 01, 2025

Kansas City Actors Theatre kicks off their twenty-first season with a super production of Jen Silverman’s THE ROOMMATE about two women who stumble awkwardly towards each other and learn a bit more than either one is ready to absorb.  This two hander has been kicking around regional theaters for abou...

Review: PEER GYNT at St. Louis Symphony Orchestra


by Steve Callahan - May 06, 2025

A rich and lively production of an Ibsen classic--with Grieg's full instrumental music. The St. Louis Symphony, with director Stéphane Denève, interpret Grieg’s music with their usual perfection.  All in all it’s a memorable presentation of a very great work of music and theater....

Review: JERSEY BOYS at New Theatre & Restaurant


by Alan Portner - April 28, 2025

JERSEY BOYS at New Theatre Restaurant is a delightful evening out on the town.   The show tells the mostly true story of sixties pop legends Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons. This show is an original and fun trip down memory lane with a singing group who offered a unique sound that still resonates...

Review: RUMORS at New Theatre Restaurant


by Alan Portner - February 23, 2025

Review: HAIRSPRAY at White Theatre


by Alan Portner - February 04, 2025

HAIRSPRAY, a co-production of the White Theatre and the Black Repertory Theatre of Kansas City, is the kind of old-fashioned, joyous, musical theater experience that recalls a PAJAMA GAME, or a DAMN YANKEES, kind of show that is just pure entertainment.  Additionally, HAIRSPRAY has a point to make a...

Review: BOOK OF DAYS at Metropolitan Ensemble Theatre


by Alan Portner - February 01, 2025

Review: PARADE at Kauffman Theatre


by Alan Portner - January 29, 2025

The touring company of PARADE, now playing at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts, recounts the sad, but true tale of Leo Frank and Mary Phagan. Mr. Frank was almost certainly falsely convicted of Ms. Phagan’s April 27, 1913 murder due to an early twentieth century eruption of rampant antise...
