There was comedy for adults as well as the little ones. The 21 month old on my lap had an amazing time and was able to stay entertained the entire hour!

The theater is very small, but the environment is one created with love for entertaining children. The artwork and the sets seem to be created by their small staff and volunteers, from what I gather from their website. The puppets are brightly colored and the "acting" is what makes it fun. Nothing like hearing puppets whistle and sing show tunes along with an Italian folk story. Get there early for a photo with Oscar the Grouch in the lobby! You can also buy 'make your own' puppet kits for a nominal fee. *Another bonus is they offer discounts if you are a member of KCPT (PBS affilitate in KC).

First thing I'll note is that parking is a pain here. If they ever do renovations to the music hall (and they should), it would be wise to include an underground dedicated parking garage. We drove around for a while before settling on our old reliable (the Cosentino's garage) and walking over. Once you get in, it's old school KC art deco in every detail, which honestly is kind of nice and enjoyable to take in. On the pro side of things you've got charm, you've got plenty of seats in the house, and it's a nice place to take in a show. On the negative side the restrooms are small and outdated, the seats super sardined in by modern standards, and no really great set up for a bar or merch table. It all feels sort of ad-hoc since when this place was built it wasn't really built for those sort of modern conveniences. Overall it's a cool spot by historic standards, but by modern standards it's not my favorite venue in town.

Starlight is a Kansas City institution and I've come here countless times for everything from…read morebroadway performances to big concerts and I have to say it's a really great big venue. To start with, what other venue in KC has ample FREE parking? I feel like 10 years ago this was common, but nowadays not only is parking often pricey, but it can be harder and harder to find. With Starlight located in Swope Park, they are able to share parking with the Zoo and if needed do overflow parking into the park itself. Worst case you're walking a bit. I love that I never have to worry about finding a spot. Now, as we've moved into the modern era Starlight has enacted some clear bag policies so you'll want to read up on that. I just brought my ID , a credit card, and my phone to simplify entry. Once inside you'll be treated to the nicest outdoor venue KC has to offer. The restrooms were renovated within the past few years and are really super nice. I remember back in the day they were worse for wear, but now they are all clean, well lit, and despite it being an outdoor venue, little to no bugs. The food options appear to be decent - we ate before arriving on our latest visit, but they had solid beers available for purchase, and several bar areas which made lines move quickly. I'll finally add that you will have a vastly different experience on if you get a ticket way at the top or one down in orchestra. Of course the orchestra tickets are incredible and IMO worth the cost since Starlight keeps prices pretty fair, but I love that since it's so big and they have such far away seats, if you just want to enjoy music under the stars you can still do that here for sometimes as cheap as $30 a seat. Overall, I love this venue - especially on a nice KC night it really can't be beat if you have good seats.

I attended with my…read moreadult daughter (you must be 18 years old to be in the audience), and we both had a wonderful time. We arrived a bit early to enjoy the bar area, which immediately immersed us in the ambiance with velvet chairs, soft lighting, and a few performers wearing beautiful, sexy costumes who greeted us, chatted with us, and even applied glitter to our faces if we desired. This warm welcome heightened our excitement for the upcoming performance. The theater is relatively small, with only 250 seats, so I believe all of them offer a good view of the stage. We were seated in the VIP section, which provides table service for drinks. However, unless you are seated right at the front, I don't think it's worth it (the tables behind us were slightly elevated and, despite being more affordable, had a better view of the stage). The cocktails tasted good, but I didn't find them very strong. I had a couple, and to my surprise, I felt absolutely no buzz. This is unusual for me as I am quite a lightweight when it comes to drinking. The performance is immersive, led by the Master of Ceremonies, EnVee, who skillfully brings all the various acts together. Her strong personality and charisma are integral to the show, and she also possesses an amazing voice. The acrobatics were nothing short of spectacular, and while the performance was undeniably sexy, it maintained a level of class that allowed us to be captivated by the performers' impressive skills. This show was unlike any we've seen before, and we thoroughly enjoyed the 90-minute experience!

We held off on walking there with the kiddos like we'd hoped to, but did make it for the waning, final minutes on Sunday early evening. This is in the heart of the Brookside shops, in between 63rd Street and Meyer Blvd. Tents line the streets, full of local restaurants, art, photography and jewelry. I enjoyed taking in all the creativity throughout, even if nothing quite caught my eye as I that I had to have in my home as we sped by. My kiddo was particularly infatuated with the Topsy's popcorn cart. It's a pretty perfect setting with several people walking the Trolley Trail to this, and I look forward to making it next year with fingers crossed that the weather is more fall-like.

Big Creek Country Showplace theatre was built in 1909, it became a movie theatre in the 1950's and…read morethen was purchased by the current owners in 1981 with the intention of launching the Big Creek Country Show. The first show on Halloween night in 1982 drew a crowd of 450 people to the little town of Pleasant Hill, MO. The physical shape and condition of the theatre is similar to what most of us old people might remember from when we went to the movies when we were kids. I doubt the theatre has been refurbished (except for possibly changing the cushions on the seats) and it hasn't changed much over the past several decades. The silver movie screen still hangs behind the back curtain. The charming history of the building has been preserved, but it's also clean and comfortable and conducive to a fun and entertaining evening. The owner of the theatre is hands-on involved in every production - booking the talent, playing the Sax, acting as emcee, and occasionally signing. The show consists of a band with a few consistent performers and a few rotating performers, plus a few guest singers. For instance, the keyboard player Phil Hilton has been on stage since the first production 38 years ago - and by the way, he's outrageously talented. Other band performers, such as the lead guitar player rotate but they always have top notch talent at each instrument for every performance. The show always features a few guest singers for each performance, with regular appearances by Duke Mason who is both gifted and funny and always makes his appearances memorable. The performances are held every Saturday evening year round beginning at 7:30 pm (they usually start 5-10 minutes late) until approximately 10 pm, and they range from classic old-time country to top 40 hits from the 50's-70's. No matter which genre they perform, the result is always very well done. You'll also discover that a number of patriotic and gospel songs are frequently sprinkled in, and these songs are often our favorites from each show. Seats for each show are reserved and you can call ahead or purchase your tickets the day of the show at the box office that opens at 6:00 pm on Saturday nights. Tickets are only $12, but be careful if Duke Mason is scheduled to perform, there will likely be very few tickets available for walk-ins. The location in Pleasant Hill might be a bit of a drive for some people in the KC area, but it's a fun and inexpensive way to spend a Saturday evening and I highly recommend it.
