It’s astounding, time is fleeting, madness takes its toll. . .no it’s the opening weekend of Padgett Productions THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW. The cult musical, which has become a Kansas City favorite, has been ushering in the Halloween season for several years. I have been in the audience at least once (most years twice) each season and am glad to report it gets better every year. I don’t know if it is the witches and goblins of Halloween or the creative genius of Nick Padgett the Artistic Director that makes it unique each year, but it is the time of year for magic.
MTH Theater at Crown Center continues its 2021 season with an innovative and powerful production of the iconic musical that defined a generation and changed the world: HAIR: Then & Now.
The production is directed by Nedra Dixon, a cast member in the 1st National tour of the original Broadway production in 1972. Playing August 5 through August 22 at the 4th floor Theater at Crown Center, HAIR: Then & Now captures the music of the legendary musical that brought the passion and revolution of the late 1960s to audiences around the world. MTH s concert production will present the full musical score of HAIR, performed by an ensemble of 11, along with a 5-piece rock band.
