I've attended two productions at this theater, Spamalot, and Little Shop of Horrors, along with my…read morecousin. At both productions the acoustics and the sound system were so poor that we could only understand one word out of every five. I was familiar with both shows, which made the situation doubly frustrating. During Spamalot we talked to an usher during intermission. We were seated toward the front, and she said maybe the problem was that we were too close. It was a shame, because it looked like a great show, and I'm familiar with the songs, but if you can't hear the words - it definitely loses something. But during Little Shop of Horrors we sat in the middle section, and the sound was not one bit better! I talked to the House Manager, who didn't have anything helpful to offer at all. Now this theater is offering Young Frankenstein, a musical I really love. But I hate to shell out another $30 per ticket for a show I can't hear. I'm astonished at the 5-Star reviews here. What's the secret, guys? Is there some secret place in the theater where you can actually hear the shows?

Overall a great experience. They had their coffee shop open and while they had decent selections, I…read morehad forgotten my water bottle so I opted to buy a slightly overpriced one of theirs ($3). I went there for an evening event: Christmas in Killarney--they had cancelled last year, so it was nice to see them on the list for the holidays. JCCC brings in such amazing artists and people and this was no exception. Although one guy had mic issues he carried on like the professional he was and things went well. It wasn't exactly what I was expecting--I was thinking just a musical performance by a random group--but it was a musical. It was enjoyable--my foot was tapping and my hands were clapping so I must've had a good time! ;)

The staff and volunteers are so nice. My daughter enjoys her instructor, Ms Missy. They prorate your tuition if you get in after they've begun. You can even try a class to see if you like it before you enroll. They discourage parents hanging around and potentially distracting the class (with younger kids) but our night class has been great thus far. Since it's dark out, the kids can't really see the parents outside. They start my daughter's class off with tap shoes and then change over to ballet on the latter part of the class. Price is about par with other places around town but we chose it based on longevity and experience.

They have all the instruments so anything your kiddo likes they can try. The instructors are mostly previous students who are still "young and cool" so they have a great connection with the younger crowd. One on one music lessons are available and or join the school band that is tailored to their age group. They play in shows and practice together regularly to form lasting friendships with their band mates. Everyone who works here is fantastic and very musically inclined and knowledgeable. We finally feel like we've found our music home for lessons and all around musical enjoyment. Seen the movie? Yeah, this place is even better. Try it out, you won't be disappointed.

Went up to playing his first show on drums with the band, which they happily named The Snake Skulls! Price can get a little steep, but if you can afford it, it's one of the best places we've been for music lessons. The staff is amazing and welcoming. Kyle was terrific with the kids and would always stop to talk music with me when he could. Jeremy is extremely helpful with anything you need and would answer all my questions about drum tech, even helping us find a good deal on an electric kit for our son to practice on at home. Hopefully one day, we will be able to start lessons here again.

I happily went and was thrilled that it was being staged again here recently, at the indoor theater inside the newly renovated, gorgeous Johnson County Heritage Center, which by itself is a must-do in KC. I was a bit nervous because the actors/singers in this version were all teenagers, not professionals. But oh my goodness I should not have been worried- they were INCREDIBLE!!! The show is a master class in beautiful 1950's style 4-part harmony, and these young men were so impressive. Definitely one of the best versions of the show that I've seen!! I went on the last day of the run, and I wish I'd gone earlier so I could've seen it again. This was my first time seeing a show at this venue, but I'll definitely be back for more. The theater is small, about the size of KC Musical Heritage Society (I think that's what it's called???) at Crown Center, but the chairs are very comfortable and we didn't feel crowded at all. There's not a bad seat in the house.
