Experience Wendy Moten live on August 27th

Wendy Moten is scheduled to perform at the Midland Theatre in Kansas City, Missouri on August 27, 2026. Moten’s musical style blends elements of soul, R&B, gospel, and pop, often showcasing her powerful and versatile vocal range. She gained prominence as a backing vocalist for prominent artists including Julio Iglesias and Lionel Richie before launching a successful solo career in the 1990s with hits like “This is You.” Her work frequently features emotive delivery and sophisticated arrangements.

The Midland Theatre originally opened in 1927 as the Loew’s Midland Theatre, designed by architect Henry G. Jost. Initially built as a movie palace during the height of the vaudeville era, it accommodated both film screenings and live performances. Over its history, the theatre underwent periods of decline and subsequent restoration. A significant renovation completed in 1995 revitalized the venue, preserving many of its original architectural details including ornate plasterwork and a grand lobby.

Today, the Midland Theatre operates as a performing arts center hosting a diverse range of events including concerts, Broadway shows, comedy acts and classic films.
