The experience

Kansas City, through
the eyes of a vampyr.

For centuries, Jareth has wandered through history, carrying tales of love, loss, revenge, and blood. Now he returns to Kansas City with a fascination for the city’s shadowed past and a question for his guests: Do you possess the strength to make the choices immortality demands?

Encounter Jareth, his companions, and musicians up close through immersive storytelling, live music, captivating dance, and burlesque elements. An interactive theatrical grazing feast, with mystery at every turn.

  1. Act I

    To Love.

    A love that refused to die—and the price of trying to make it eternal.

  2. Act II

    To Loss.

    The centuries have taken more than they have given.

  3. Act III

    To Forever.

    Jareth asks whether you could live with the hardest choices of the night.

The three acts and toasts mark the theatrical story.
