Summer in Kansas City is made for unforgettable nights. From baseball games and concerts to festivals and patio dining, there’s no shortage of ways to spend a warm evening.

A Broadway Comedy Unlike Any Other
Based on the beloved film Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Spamalot transforms the legendary tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table into a wildly entertaining musical packed with unforgettable songs, larger-than-life characters, and plenty of unexpected twists.
Even if you’ve never seen a Monty Python film, you can still enjoy the show’s clever humor, energetic performances, and playful theatrical surprises. It’s the kind of comedy that embraces the unexpected and invites audiences to laugh right along with it.
There’s Nothing Like Broadway Under the Stars
Part of what makes seeing a show at Starlight so special is the setting itself. As the sun sets and the stage lights come up, the experience becomes something you simply can’t recreate at home. Watching a Broadway musical in Kansas City’s iconic outdoor theatre adds an extra layer of excitement to every performance.
Warm summer air, live music, and thousands of fellow theater lovers create an atmosphere that’s uniquely Kansas City.
Make It a Complete Summer Night Out
Seeing Spamalot is more than attending a performance. It’s an opportunity to slow down and enjoy an entire evening.
Arrive early to explore the grounds, grab dinner at the Applause Club or your favorite concessions, take in the beautiful surroundings, and enjoy pre-show activities to enrich the experience featuring a Holy Grail Scavenger Hunt, activations with local game shops including Cardboard Corner, roaming Renaissance Fair characters, and Meeplathon.
Spamalot Theme Night is August 5. Embark on a medieval adventure before the show with themed activities fit for royalty. Guests can create their own royal crowns and enjoy an evening full of laughter worthy of Camelot!
