JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT at New Theatre Restaurant

New Theatre Restaurant is at 9229 Foster St, Overland Park, Kansas.

When it was built in the 1960s, the Glenwood Theatre was the largest and most elegant lodging facility in Overland Park, Kansas. The complex included an 817 seat movie auditorium, hailed as Kansas City’s Luxury Movie Theatre, and an extravagant, free-standing convention center. By the late 1980s, developers were interested in converting the Glenwood Manor into retail space. Overland Park City Councilman Andrew Happer felt the convention center would be an excellent location for a theatre restaurant and convinced the property’s developers to bring Richard and Dennis on board. Two years in the planning and construction, New Theatre Restaurant opened in Overland Park, Kansas in 1992 as a 617 seat, state-of-the-art theatrical facility with a revolving stage designed by the same company that installed the revolving stage for the Metropolitan Opera in New York. The theatre also featured an orchestra pit, computer controlled lighting and sound systems and spacious rehearsal, production and culinary facilities. In 2015, New Theatre underwent a multi-million dollar makeover adding LED panels and more than 4,000,000 LED lights to the theatre and LEDs in the lobby that seem to make the walls move with color. New Theatre Restaurant is the largest and most successful theatre restaurant facility in the United States, averaging more than a quarter million in attendance annually, including 25,000 season ticket holders. We produce five shows annually, each running between nine and thirteen weeks.
