Starlight Theatre

I love the Starlight. It is hands down my favorite venue in KC. If you get a chance to see a band that takes your breath away it is somewhat magical to be under the stars and hear your favorite song being belted out. I've seen two concerts at the Starlight. One was a few years back in the fall for Tori Amos. The most recent was a couple weeks ago for Sigur Ros. The fall show had better weather, but both shows had excellent sound and will forever remain engraved in my head as top nights ever.

The staff at the Starlight are always so helpful and friendly. The concessions are expensive, but what venue doesn't have expensive concessions? Plan ahead, or don't buy them. Ticket prices vary. The tickets for Tori Amos a few years back were cheap, but my Sigur Ros tickets were a little pricey. Worth it, but pricey. You will probably have to pay for parking if you are going for an event so bring some cash before you even pull into the parking lot.

One thing I really love about the Starlight is that even when I have seats further back you still feel like you have decent seating. For more intimate shows they don't usually sell out the back portion of the venue making it feel more close and homey.

My only tip would be to bring a blanket if the weather is any bit questionable. I froze my toosh off at the Sigur Ros show. I brought a jacket, but really wished I a) didn't have an end seat (so I could soak up others body heat) and b) had brought my snuggie.

This has got to be my favorite venue in town.  Most recently, we were there to see Jason Mraz with Christina Perri, and one of them commented that it felt like they were playing in a castle. I just love the ambiance there!  
I've always lucked out and been there during great weather. Comfy seats, average/rapey beverage prices, but the staff is always friendly so it makes me less angry than, say, at a Royals game.  
I'm always thrilled when one of my favorite artists is coming to town and lands here. If I ever make it big, Starlight, I'll remember you!

I'm bought Season Tickets for the first time this year, and plan on renewing them next year.  Love the Starlight!
