If you’re in Kansas City and looking for an amazing way to spend your Sunday afternoon, we have fantastic news for you!

This truly is a one-night-only event you won’t want to miss.
The concert promises to be an unforgettable mix of music and laughter.

Music lovers can look forward to a delightful set-list featuring songs from Mullally’s Broadway journey. Notably, she will revisit her very first Broadway performance in the revival of “Grease,” where she first met Rudetsky. How cool is that?! Mullally, who understudied the role of Rizzo—originated by none other than Rosie O’Donnell—has a treasure trove of funny stories about stepping into that popular character’s shoes.
But that’s not all! The concert will include a nostalgic stroll down memory lane with songs from her roles in “How to Succeed in Business” and “Guys and Dolls.” Fans of classic Broadway are in for a treat because the evening might even feature selections from the repertoire of the legendary Barbra Streisand, a shared favorite of both Mullally and Rudetsky.
As if that’s not enough, Mullally may surprise the audience with a sneak peek at her upcoming Broadway musical revolving around her unforgettable character, Karen Walker. Imagine that—a glimpse into a work that could capture the essence of one of television’s most memorable characters!
Megan Mullally is no stranger to accolades. She has not only won two Emmy Awards but has also snagged four Screen Actors Guild Awards and received nominations for four Golden Globe Awards. With such a decorated career, there’s no doubt her performance will sparkle.
On the other hand, Seth Rudetsky is an authority in the Broadway realm, having authored “Musical Theatre for Dummies” and contributing to numerous productions such as “Ragtime” and “Les Misérables.” With his extensive knowledge, he’ll surely bring an infectious energy to the concert.
For those who want an extra-special experience, a limited number of Premium Seating/VIP Meet and Greet tickets are available. This is your chance to get up close and personal with the stars!
To add to the excitement, Kansas City will soon witness its own Angela Wildflower, a local talent, performing as Miss Adelaide in the summer production of “Guys & Dolls” by Music Theater Heritage.
