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…
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…

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?”…
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…
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…
