Wait! What about the Wayne Newton Revue? The Bobcat Goldthwait Comedy Caravan? I thought those shows had been booked, along with the touring production of "Grease" starring Frankie Avalon and Fabian?
I'm disappointed no one else has commented on this article. The Kauffman Center is one of the most amazing showpieces in the midwest. People drive into KC now, see it, and say, "What is that?" They built this place with attention and care, and they did it the right way.
I really hope everyone in KC, and the surrounding areas, is as excited as I am about this wonderful addition.
