The J’s annual fundraiser, KC SuperStar, is Kansas City's most exciting high school singing competition—a high-energy, American Idol- and The Voice-style event that spotlights the incredible vocal talent of high school students from across the metro.
Produced by the Jewish Community Center (The J), this one-of-a-kind competition raises essential funds to support The J’s programs and services that serve people of all ages and backgrounds.
The journey to the spotlight begins months before the big night, when hundreds of teens audition for a chance to become the next KC SuperStar. From these auditions, a select group advances to the semifinals, where they receive mentorship from music professionals and perform in front of a live audience. After a competitive round of performances, the top 10 finalists are chosen to move on to the KC SuperStar Final.The Final show is an electrifying, Broadway-caliber concert that showcases the best of Kansas City's young vocal talent. Finalists take the stage for an unforgettable evening of stunning vocal performances, dynamic choreography, and heart-pounding suspense as they compete for substantial college scholarships and the coveted title of KC SuperStar.
The show features live judging, audience voting, and an energy-filled celebration of music and youth artistry.This year’s grand event is made even more special with Broadway star Shoshana Bean as our celebrity host and performer—bringing star power and inspiration to an already dazzling night.
From the first audition to the final standing ovation, KC SuperStar is a celebration of passion, talent, and the power of community. It’s more than just a show—it’s a movement that uplifts youth, supports the arts, and helps The J continue its impactful work throughout Greater Kansas City.
