Tim’s heart had never warned him that it was in pain. Not until kidney stones brought him to an HCA Midwest Health ER. Using tests already being done to diagnose his emergency, we found he had several severe heart conditions, including a leaky valve and a blockage in his widow maker artery. Luckily, our expert cardiologists are skilled in new minimally invasive heart procedures and were able to save Tim—and his family—from a broken heart.

July 8 – Sept. 13, 2020 book by Bridget Carpenter, music by Tom Kitt,
lyrics by Brian Yorkey Based on the novel Freaky Friday by Mary Rodgers
and the Disney films
KANSAS CIT Y PREMIERE
LADIES Directed by Dennis D. Hennessy
Inspired by the books of Janet Letnes Martin and Suzann Nelson, including the best seller Growing Up Lutheran
written by Jim Stowell & Jessica Zuehlke music & lyrics by Drew Jansen
The original is back and this time, it stars Cindy Williams! CHURCH BASEMENT LADIES is the hilarious musical comedy that mixes
the silliness of NUNSENSE with the homespun humor of PRAIRIE HOME COMPANION. The script is spot on, the music is toe-tapping, the humor is delicious and the cast includes some of the funniest
people we have ever assembled on our stage. Don’t miss the fun. This show will sell out!
“If laughter is the best
medicine, this comedy would
raise the dead!” – Chicago Sun
featuring Deb Bluford, Cathy Barnett, and Jim Korinke Feb. 5 – April 12, 2020
A new musical adaptation of the beloved novel and the hit Disney films is a heartfelt, comedic and unexpectedly emotional update on the American classic. When an overworked mother and her
teenage daughter magically swap bodies, they have just one day to put things right again. By spending a day in each other’s shoes, Katherine and Ellie come to appreciate one another’s
struggles, learn self-acceptance and realize the immeasurable love and mutual respect that bond a mother and daughter.
“A fast-paced, fun filled, very funny musical with a great message for all ages”
- Variety
The show audiences insisted we bring back, MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET is the smash-hit musical inspired by the famed recording session that brought
together rock ‘n’ roll icons Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins for the first and only time. On December 4, 1956, these four young
musicians gathered at Sun Records in Memphis for what would be one of the greatest jam sessions ever. Featuring a score of rock hits including “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Fever,” “That’s All Right,” “Sixteen Tons,” “Great Balls of Fire,” “Walk
the Line,” “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On,” “Who Do You Love?” “Matchbox,” “Folsom Prison Blues,” “Hound Dog” and many more.

Courtesies: • Out of courtesy to the actors and your fellow theatre guests, all plates must be removed from the tables in the first five rows five minutes before curtain. • As a courtesy to our other guests and to the actors on stage, please refrain from talking during the performance. Guests creating disturbances deemed excessive will be asked to leave the theatre. • For your safety, we ask that all our guests remain in their seats until the house lights are fully up at the end of each act. In addition to the safety concerns, the actors in our performances work very hard for your enjoyment. Exiting during the curtain call is extremely discourteous to the performers. • At New Theatre Restaurant we are very aware that your entertainment choices are many. We expect all of our employees to treat our guests in a polite and respectful manner. We ask that our guests treat our employees in the same manner. • Per the Kansas Health Dept., only service animals are allowed in the theatre.

July 8 – Sept. 13, 2020 book by Bridget Carpenter, music by Tom Kitt,
lyrics by Brian Yorkey Based on the novel Freaky Friday by Mary Rodgers
and the Disney films
KANSAS CIT Y PREMIERE
LADIES Directed by Dennis D. Hennessy
Inspired by the books of Janet Letnes Martin and Suzann Nelson, including the best seller Growing Up Lutheran
written by Jim Stowell & Jessica Zuehlke music & lyrics by Drew Jansen
The original is back and this time, it stars Cindy Williams! CHURCH BASEMENT LADIES is the hilarious musical comedy that mixes
the silliness of NUNSENSE with the homespun humor of PRAIRIE HOME COMPANION. The script is spot on, the music is toe-tapping, the humor is delicious and the cast includes some of the funniest
people we have ever assembled on our stage. Don’t miss the fun. This show will sell out!

medicine, this comedy would
raise the dead!” – Chicago Sun

A new musical adaptation of the beloved novel and the hit Disney films is a heartfelt, comedic and unexpectedly emotional update on the American classic. When an overworked mother and her
teenage daughter magically swap bodies, they have just one day to put things right again. By spending a day in each other’s shoes, Katherine and Ellie come to appreciate one another’s
struggles, learn self-acceptance and realize the immeasurable love and mutual respect that bond a mother and daughter.
“A fast-paced, fun filled, very funny musical with a great message for all ages”
- Variety
The show audiences insisted we bring back, MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET is the smash-hit musical inspired by the famed recording session that brought
together rock ‘n’ roll icons Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins for the first and only time. On December 4, 1956, these four young
musicians gathered at Sun Records in Memphis for what would be one of the greatest jam sessions ever. Featuring a score of rock hits including “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Fever,” “That’s All Right,” “Sixteen Tons,” “Great Balls of Fire,” “Walk
the Line,” “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On,” “Who Do You Love?” “Matchbox,” “Folsom Prison Blues,” “Hound Dog” and many more.
