Back to the 80s

Dust off your Walkman, tease up that hair, and crank the synthesizer—because we’re going Back to the 80s!

Celebrate the decade that shaped a generation—and gave rise to HMCKC—with this neon-soaked, nostalgia-packed tribute to the music that made us. From pop anthems and power ballads to guilty pleasures and dance-floor favorites, the full chorus brings big harmonies, big laughs, and even bigger shoulder pads to the Folly stage.
It’s a flashback you won’t want to miss—full of retro joy, radical moves, and heart you can’t fake.

Totally live. Totally proud. Totally 80s.

C. Stephen Metzler Hall at The Folly Theater

“An ideal blend of seriously rigorous singing and mirthful exuberance…one of the most beloved artistic institutions in Kansas City.”
