“This accolade, combined with our current Broadway season and Capitol Federal Concert Series, is a reflection of Starlight’s commitment to bring the best of entertainment to Kansas City audiences,” said Rich Baker, Starlight president and CEO. Upcoming Starlight schedule highlights include Grammy Award winner Peter Frampton (June 18), Jim Gaffigan (Aug. 3) and Idina Menzel (Aug. 12), as well as national Broadway productions of Annie (June 19-21), Pippin (June 30-July 5), and Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella (July 7-12).
