Review: LES MISÉRABLES at Fox Theatre, St. LouisNovember 21, 2025Now touring North America, this updated version of the beloved musical has been crafted by producer Cameron MacIntosh. For this production he replaced the rotating stage of the original production with background projections and implemented dialogue, orchestration and costumes changes. The results are stunning!
Review: The Rep Gets Supernatural with THE WOMAN IN BLACKOctober 17, 2025The atmosphere is scary, the drama is intense, and the unexplained abounds in this well-acted production that relies on atmospherics, lighting, and effects to thrill and chill its audiences. The Woman In Black is an unnerving delight.
Review: THE LIFE OF PI at the Fabulous Fox TheatreOctober 13, 2025There are no musical numbers in the Fox Theatre’s 2025-2026 season opener. But that’s okay. Instead of a full-blown musical spectacle the company has opted for a moving production of The Life of Pi.
Review: THE MINUTES at Tower Grove AbbeyOctober 8, 2025Tense, terse, and at times testy, The Minutes is almost two plays in one.

Review: THE COTTAGE at Loretto-Hilton CenterSeptember 9, 2025Roaring laughter meets the roaring twenties in The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis’ The Cottage. A dramedy in the classic sense, the company’s 59th season starter offers an endless barrage of scandalous dalliances, clever double entendres, and mistaken identities.
Review: & JULIET at Fox Theatre, St. LouisMay 22, 2025A fun romp of gooey fun wrapped in a Shakespearean shell, & Juliet takes the earworm drivel of songs like Baby One More Time, I Want It That Way, Roar, and Since U Been Gone, and makes them musical theater bangers.
But, behind the schmaltz and campy energetics, the production entertains thanks to the talents of an exceptional ensemble. Filled with singing, dancing, love, and loyalty, & Juliet is a glorious escapade.
Review: MEET ME AT DAWN at The Marcelle TheaterApril 13, 2025Upstream Theater is having an existential crisis. Meet Me At Dawn, the finale of the company’s 20th season is an intense rumination on reality and grief that plays games with the concept of reality.
Review: ROCK OF AGES at Tower Grove AbbeyApril 5, 2025Driven by characters who use music to unite, uplift, and explore themselves, Rock of Ages is fun. This fast-paced and thrashing theatrical escapade honors the counterculture it portrays.
Review: KIMBERLEY AKIMBO at Fox Theatre, St. LouisMarch 26, 2025Winner of 5 Tony Awards, Kimberly Akimbo is based on David Lindsay-Abaire’s play. Directed by Jessica Stone, the production mixes humor with just the right amount of heartstring tugs and teen angst.
Review: KEN LUDWIG'S SHERWOOD: THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD at Loretto-Hilton CenterMarch 24, 2025Blending comedy, swashbuckling action, and heartfelt moments, Ludwig’s adaptation brings a fresh and humorous take to the classic Robin Hood legend.

Review: SHUCKED at the Fabulous Fox TheatreFebruary 17, 2025Well-acted and utterly fun, Shucked lives up to the hype. The straightforward plot relies on shrewdly timed jokes, jangly music and polished wordplay, sprinkled with social commentary, to provide laughs and moments of endearment.
