Best Amateur Theaters In Kansas City Near Me

Tim Yoder: I had tickets for Matchbox 20 which I purchased 5 years ago for my wife. Due to Covid, the even was rescheduled to this year. Three weeks before the event, I preemptively called Starlight to make sure everything was in order. The person told me that they were re-issuing all tickets and that I had to call StubHub for new tickets as the originals would not be honored. I called StubHub twice, had the proverbial call-backs, and eventually called Starlight again the day before the event. Explaining my inability to get the reprints, the rep told me to bring everything down to the ticket office the day of the event, noting that this will be an issue, and the office opens at noon.I head down the 30-minute drive, and arrive only to have the ticket office tell me that they cannot do anything since it was a 3rd party vendor (StubHub) ticket. Telling me again I needed to have StubHub re-issue the ticket. On my 30-minute drive home, I managed to get a supervisor at StubHub, who told me that LiveNation (who issues the tickets for the event) did not state that the tickets were not being honored (which is not what Starlight implied multiple times). And that if not they would guarantee entry or a refund if my ticket was not honored.I come back the night of the event, walk to the ticket window, and low and behold they reprinted the ticket with a new one.This ill-informed, misbegotten, and malicious effort on Starlight to waste my time and energy due to some issue with another service, epitomizes the poor service to customers who attend their venue. I regularly buy tickets directly through their site, and they way they treated a person who went 3rd party for a hard to find ticket, shows their callous disregard for customer service, and speaks volumes to how poorly managed this space is. This treatment shows the venomous disrespect for a customer and guarantees that the value they hold is one of greed and money, and not to servicing the persons who frequent their establishment.

HeatherAnne Norbury: The shows are spectacular! We've really enjoyed our Broadway series season tickets and will definitely participate again in the future.

Albert Miller: Great performance.

Greg Trial: Had a good time.Matt Nathanson was awesome!

neil solomon: A kanas City tradition

April Wolf: What a great night. Can't wait to come back to see other venues.

Michael Cunningham: Great venue. Good cocktails. Wonderful temperature. They even had two ladies signing the songs (probably for all the close-to-deaf musicians in the audience.)

Tracy Duke: We had the best time at the Louis Tomlinson concert on 6/10. We did the Applause Club pre-concert food. It was really good!! The entertainment in Applause Club was good too. We bought merchright before Louis went onstage. The whole place was rockin'!!!! And I had great seats. My daughter and her girlfriend were in row B on the right side. The girlfriend even got to touch Louis on the shoulder! It was a great night for all of us!!!

Mike Stocker: Awesome venue for a concert

Tracy Blackmore: What a beautiful place to take in the arts!I've visited Starlight Theater for both plays and concerts dating back to the 1980's.The open-air atmosphere adds to any event you may attend.The volunteers are all awesome, the venue clean, and the options for food and beverage are great.I look forward to the next opportunity I have of taking in the arts and the stars!

Elisabeth Putman: Went to the Matchbox Twenty concert last night at Starlight. Matt Nathanson opened for them. Hadn't heard of him before, but he and his band were great! (I shed several tears on several of their songs) I will definitely buy their music. Then... Matchbox Twenty, 3 years after their last Kansas City show was canceled because of the COVID, came back. I think it's safe to say, they rocked everybody's arses off!!! Thanks for such an amazing evening at the Starlight!

Pete Madrigal: Great weather, and our seats had an excellent view of the stage. We made plans to return very soon.

Cory Elliott: This venue is always amazing. The staff is friendly and helpful. Parking is easy. Everything is convenient. It's easily my favorite place to see a concert.

Julie Sleister: It Is Awesome!!! Beautiful set up, short drink lines, clean, and great acoustics.

Debbie Hanesworth: Always a good time at Starlight. Worst part is the traffic getting out of the area.

Chris Coffman: Tyler Childers show was amazing! Parking was setup good and ran well.

Amber Lee: Beautiful venue! Large fans really keep air moving in there on those hot summer evenings. Clean bathrooms. Concessions lines move quickly. Always enjoy the sound at this venue, too.

Ryan Propst: Clean and in great shape for an outdoor theater!

Deanna Bracken: Went to see Matchbox 20 concert. Excellent venue for a concert!!! Had a great time!!

Janet Wimer: I attended the Matchbox 20 show tonight. The venue is beautiful and the weather was great. The food vendor we went to said they had no food delivered. One thing I wish they would improve on is the view they put on the close up screens. The only view was close up of the main singer. Even during other musical solos, the screens pictured the main singer standing there watching. No close ups were ever shown of any other band members, nor did they pan out to see the band as a whole. Close up of main singer only all night.

Charity Dunwoody: The production, Flood, was thought provoking, emotional, and humorous! Go see it! The theater has nice seating and great views throughout. My only suggestion would be to display a sandwich board at entrances letting people know the production and that this is the way to the theater. We are from out of town and had a difficult time deciphering how to get in.
