Sometimes the cheapest seats are the bestest seats. Shade and breeze!
Reusable tumbler $9 to purchase but refills just $1. It was a super hot day so this was much appreciated
Spicy chicken sandwich. Not amazing, but $13 including fries not bad for event food. Hot and was served immediately.
Very castle-esque. This is the seating and the towers are where they can control some lights. The sheltered area behind is concessions.

We drove from Omaha since my husband had scored some cheap Pixies tickets. We had the last seats in the last row and to be honest, they were great. We had the best shade and breeze, a great view, and easy access to the abundant food and drink choices and to the clean and convenient bathrooms.We parked in the EV charging area (to charge not just to park of course). It cost about $6 to charge but we didn't have to pay to park so that was niceIt's a nice place to see a show, sound was good, staff was friendly. Food was ok, was not super expensive, and was served immediately.We bought a reusable cup for $9, refills were $1, definitely would do that again. Pixies were kinda lame in my opinion, compared to when I saw them over 30 years ago. However I am certain that was not a fault of the Starlight Theater! Very nice venue.

Starlight has been on my list of venues to visit in KC- but I'm always traveling during the summer when shows are playing that I'd like to see. We went as a family for my sons first rock concert- The Black Keys. There isn't a bad seat in the house! With large screens you can see the artists even from further back.It was HOT with nary a breeze, but they did have free iced water for people and allow you to bring in sealed, plastic water bottles. There was a line to get in for parking, but the attendants did a great job directing people and it moved quickly. Prices for tickets were very reasonable and it was a family friendly place to bring my teenagers.

I recently had the pleasure of attending a Tears for Fears concert at Starlight Theater, and it was an absolute blast. Talk about sowing the seeds of love! It was a delirious, mad world as a giddy throng of Fearmongers (that's what we fans call ourselves) shouted and let it all out. The crowd was head over heels for Tears For Fears during their excellent performance. We all wanted to rule the world and for two hours, we did!So yeah, the concert itself was nothing short of GREAT! The sound quality is always top-notch at Starlight. Parking: strangely, was a bit more troublesome than usual. While there were a few attendants and cones initially, they sort of disappeared, leaving us to search aimlessly for a spot. Luckily, we were able to find one pretty easily, but it was definitely not the usual seamless "directed" parking experience I've come to expect from Starlight.Getting in: While the line to get into the venue was long, I was very pleasantly surprised by how quickly it moved. The staff really had things organized and got everyone in quickly. Merch: not really anything to do with Starlight itself, but apparently people go crazy for TfF merch. The line for that was super long...and yeah, they had some awesome tshirts, but I'm not paying $45 for one!! Holy geez!Long story short, if you're looking for a fantastic concert experience, I highly recommend checking out Starlight Theater. Open air, very well maintained and operated...and just so much fun!!

This is one of the nice outdoor theater here in KC. I've enjoyed the shows like the musical, broadway, or even concerts here. Especially during a summer night. Seats are reasonable where you sit. I like the middle rows. I also enjoyed a good time with good friends. This theater offers a great atmosphere. I can remember watching One Republic here and I was so moved by their music and the people who went to see them. It was magical. Oh I can't forget, get the funnel cake. It's so good and fresh. Very worth it. People are friendly here and will helped you out if you're lost or can't find your seat. Would come back again and again.

I really enjoy the outdoor venue of Starlight Theatre. It's beautiful, clean, and well maintained. The performances I've seen have been first rate. I used to be a season ticket holder but am no longer as the offerings can be redundant to someone like me who has seen many Broadway performances. The food and drink choices are somewhat limited but I don't go there for the food so it means little to me. What matters most to me are the show offerings and Starlight does a wonderful job in bringing shows and talent to the KCMO area.

Starlight Theatre is such a beautiful outdoor venue. The outdoor amphitheater provides a charming atmosphere for attendees to enjoy performances under the stars. Many visitors appreciate the laid-back and comfortable experience. As with any venue, experiences may vary depending on factors such as the specific show you attend and the weather. The Starlight staff is always present to assist you with seating needs, and other things. There are plenty of food options ranging from chicken tender baskets to nachos.

I've seen this venue thousands of times because it is right by the KC zoo. But this was my first time there. It's quite the experience. It's easy to find because it's in the city but it is surrounded by gorgeous trees. We went for a third eye blind concert. It is an outdoor venue so super hot in Summer but it had enough shade that it wasn't unbearable. There were ample concessions. The sound was better than I expected for such an old venue. I was disappointed as usual when venues charge for parking but got a bit of a laugh getting to choose paved or grass. Paved was of course more expensive. I guess they have to pay those directing traffic somehow.

We came from St. Louis to see Berlin. My husband has been waiting 40 years to see them, and they did not disappoint. The venue was amazing. A few things that would stand out to anyone...-great view from every seat. We were way in the back and had a clear view of the stage. The seats are easy to access without steps, and the grades of the ramps are not too steep. The only concession we tried was the freshly squeezed lemonade, which was amazing. The paper straws they had started disintegrating in less than 30 minutes--before we finished our drinks.The real high points for me were the aspects of the venue that related to accessibility for people with various types of disabilities. I am the mom of a young adult who has cerebral palsy. The adult-sized changing table with a curtain for privacy around it in (at least) the women's restroom is TOP TIER!! Seriously, we need to normalize this in all public venues!! There were communication and ASL alphabet signs all over the place courtesy of Variety the Children's Charity and the Mahomes family!! Yes!!! Phenomenal!! Seriously, we need these everywhere!! Thank you so much Starlight Theatre, Variety, and the Mahomes family, you all are the best!!
