Review: LEGALLY BLOND, THE MUSICAL at New Theatre Restauant
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…
Review: DISNEY'S FROZEN at White Theatre
This joint White Theatre and Coterie production succeeds with dazzling sets, super special effects, the best pit band I have heard in many years, and a cast who seems determined to wring every bit of value out of the playscript and the score that is there.What did our critic think of DISNEY'S FROZEN…

The show I saw last week on Wednesday, July 8, featured three warm-up acts and Ayrn performing under the stage name A.J. Chris. A.J. Chris was the feature comic of the evening. A.J., who has already had significant success in the UK, had warned me that she had come home to try out a new routine i…

BWW Review: THE WIZARD OF OZ at Kansas City Repertory Theatre
Kansas City Repertory Theatre’s THE WIZARD OF OZ does not attempt to recreate nostalgia in its simplest form. Instead, this production interrogates why the story has endured for generations and reframes it through a distinctly theatrical lens rooted in American folk tradition, musical intimacy, an…
BWW Review: OF MICE AND MEN at Kauffman Center For The Performing Arts
They keep people alive. They keep people moving. And sometimes, they keep people from realizing how impossible their lives have truly become. Lyric Opera of Kansas City’s production of OF MICE AND MEN does not treat John Steinbeck’s story as distant Americana or dusty literary nostalgia.…
Review: CACTUS FLOWER at New Theatre Restaurant
The air at New Theatre Restaurant in Overland Park is thick with the scent of high-end buffet favorites and the electric hum of a sold-out crowd. The curtain has risen on a revival of the 1960s Broadway classic Cactus Flower, and if the opening week's standing ovations are any indication, Kansas Ci…
Review: THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION at The Warwick Theater
A full auditorium of just over a hundred patrons filed into the newly renovated Warwick Theater for a re-imagination of Stephen King’s “The Shawshank Redemption.” This theatrical adaptation is written by Irish playwrights Owen O’Neill and Dave Johns, an unlikely yet inspired pairing. Both m…
Review: STEREOPHONIC at Kauffman Center
Think of the greatest songs you’ve never heard - the soaring melodies, the unexpected anthems, the driving beats, the lyrics that speak to a feeling you didn’t know could be expressed in words. Unlike most straight plays, this opus has its own musical score, and good one by Will Butler. And tha…
