The moment you walk in, you're hit with an atmosphere so unique, there's truly nothing else like it. A couple of weeks ago, we saw Paul Simon there and checked out the VIP bar--a classy touch. The bartenders were on point, pouring a solid selection that beats most arena slop by a country mile. Not only is The Midland an architectural icon, it's laid out with fan-friendly genius. Growing up in KC, I've parked my behind in just about every seat over the years, and I swear there isn't a bad one in the house--whether you're front-and-center or chilling in the balcony, you'll feel like you've scored the hookup. Grab tickets to a show at The Midland--you'll thank me later.

We have general admission tickets as we brought out 2 boys to their first concert here. It was the perfect first concert! There were plenty of bathrooms and bars throughout.

There were many people from all over town and our little area here in New Longview. My wife and I live is Kessler Ridge, so we drove less than five minutes to get to the mansion. We have been on the grounds many times before, but this was the first time we were able to visit the interior of the house. It is impressive and fun. There were lots of little pop-up shops set up inside the mansion, all on the main floor and then in a tent that extended from a sunporch on the back of the house. That was by far the biggest area to shop. The rest of the little pop-up areas were small and cozy inside the house. The staff was lovely and serving drinks, wine and food. We only had one glass of wine so we could drive home safely. We loved walking around the house, which everyone who attended was allowed to do with no drama and no supervision. Everyone I saw was super respectful of the property. Everyone we encountered was kind. It was a lovely evening. I hope they do it again next year so we can go.

I would not book here-simply because of the predatory practices they use to run this business…read more In June, we booked this venue for a wedding in October of 2027. In August, we found out we are expecting. Lovely news! In an effort to be responsible first-time parents, we decided to cancel the wedding and use our wedding money to prepare for our unborn child instead. We are still going to get married, but not at an expensive venue. We are trying to do right by our child and bring a human into this world in the most responsible way possible. On august 31, I emailed and informed the venue of our decision to cancel (over 13 months in advance). I inquired about a refund of the nearly $5,000 we deposited. It is extremely hard to get ahold of anyone (which you will see in other reviews), we are lucky to hear back once a week. Heather eventually responded, refusing to refund our money because "deposits are non refundable" because of expenses the business "incurs" by booking a date. We received no service from them. All we did was tour the venue, and deposit the required amount. We did not schedule or receive a tasting, pick out layouts/colors, decor, we never even met with our coordinator. So the argument that they need to keep our $5k for "expenses" is fake and predatory because we received NO services from them. They have refused to give me any detail on what those "expenses" are that they're supposedly using my money for (I wonder why). They haven't spent or lost any money on us. There's no reason to keep $5,000 of OUR money. Or even half of it. I understand how a business works. But with over a year to rebook, they have more than enough time to rebook our date (which is in the middle of peak wedding season). We are trying to do the right thing as parents and this business is taking full advantage of us. They want to keep our deposit, and re book the date so they can have their cake and eat it too. It's pure greed. A place that preaches love and family should really practice what they preach. Where is the humanity?

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.
