Review: THE HALLELUJAH GIRLS at New Theatre & Restaurant

Review: THE HALLELUJAH GIRLS at New Theatre & Restaurant

by Alan Portner · September 23, 2026

If laughter is truly the best medicine, the women of Eden Falls, Georgia, have opened exactly the right kind of health spa.  “The Hallelujah Girls,” is a fast-moving Southern comedy by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope and Jamie Wooten. The play is an affectionate, fast-moving celebration of friends…

Review: EUREKA DAY at City Stage

Review: EUREKA DAY at City Stage

by Alan Portner · September 15, 2026

It had taken me a day or two to absorb Jonathan Spector’s Eureka Day both well-acted and well-produced by Kansas City Actor’s Theatre in the City Theatre space of Union Station.  Cleverly cloaked in comedy, this 2025 Tony Award Winner strikes a deeply held cultural belief from playwright Jonath…

Review: DISNEY'S NEWSIES at Starlight Theater

Review: DISNEY'S NEWSIES at Starlight Theater

by Alan Portner · September 9, 2026

Disney’s Newsies does not merely seize the day. It dances on it, vaults over it and occasionally executes a backflip before the day knows what struck it. It takes an 1899 historical event as a jumping off place and imagines the history as it might have been retold in a 1930’s Busby Berkeley movi…

Review: KC Rep's COME FROM AWAY at Spencer Theatre

Review: KC Rep's COME FROM AWAY at Spencer Theatre

by Alan Portner · September 8, 2026

Kansas City Repertory Theater’s new production of “Come From Away” is top notch in every possible way. “Come From Away” is about how one remote Canadian town rallied in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on America to embrace neighbors they could not have imagined th…

Review: JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR at Music Theatre Heritage

Review: JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR at Music Theatre Heritage

by Andrew Burrill · August 30, 2026

A contemporary rock opera reimagines a familiar biblical story as a thrilling exploration of faith, fame, loyalty, doubt, and political power—proving this timeless tale still resonates with urgent relevance today.…

Review: THE SHARK IS BROKEN at The Warwick Theatre

Review: THE SHARK IS BROKEN at The Warwick Theatre

by Alan Portner · August 17, 2026

“The Shark Is Broken” is a fascinating invite into a hidden world that informs us how the sausage gets made when it comes to mega-hit films. This play snickers as three famous actors suffer “slings and arrows” while Bruce, a damned mechanical shark, turns turtle repeatedly during filming “…

Review: WICKED at Kansas City Music Hall

Review: WICKED at Kansas City Music Hall

by Alan Portner · August 17, 2026

Musical theater reviewers infrequently and pleasantly rediscover an old friend.  “Wicked,” just opened at the venerable, 2400 seat Kansas City Music Hall with a recently refreshed cast, is an entertaining example.…

Review: INTIMATE APPAREL at Kansas City Actors' Theatre

Review: INTIMATE APPAREL at Kansas City Actors' Theatre

by Alan Portner · August 9, 2026

The year is 1905.  The place is New York City. The play is Lynn Nottage’s intimate and surprisingly affective comedy/drama “Intimate Apparel.” “Intimate Apparel” tells a tale drawn from Nottage’s own passed down ancestry stories and perhaps a little imagined history.  The inspiration i…

Review: SPAMALOT at Starlight Theatre

Review: SPAMALOT at Starlight Theatre

by Alan Portner · August 5, 2026

The current national tour of Monty Python's Spamalot opened at Starlight Theatre on Tuesday evening August 4, for a weeklong residency.  This is my first exposure to this joyful send-up of all things musical theatre, motion pictures, vaudeville, and puppetry.  Can you say” inspired silliness?”…

Review: LEGALLY BLOND, THE MUSICAL at New Theatre Restauant

Review: LEGALLY BLOND, THE MUSICAL at New Theatre Restauant

by Alan Portner · July 19, 2026

You will never see a production of “Legally Blond, the musical” better performed or sung or danced than what you can see currently running at New Theatre Restaurant in Overland Park.  This is pure, show-biz entertainment as rendered by this cast and Director/ Choreographer Jerry Jay Cranford an…
