Share the L❤️ve with a Starlight Season

Looking for a Valentine’s gift idea? Love stories are at the heart of three Broadway musicals included in Starlight’s 2016 season!

Sweethearts will enjoy a gift of season tickets to Starlight Theatre long after February 14th has come and gone. Summer nights under the stars at Kansas City’s iconic outdoor theatre have been a beloved tradition since 1951, and the upcoming season is bigger than any in recent years.

Included in a 2016 season ticket package are six Broadway touring productions that will have weeklong runs at Starlight. Plus, two weekend special engagements take the stage in mid-May and September. Weekend specials can be added or swapped into a season package with Starlight’s new “Swap 2” benefit. What’s even better? Five of the eight shows have never been staged in Kansas City before!
