Emma is the most nominated comedy of the season with 11 nominations.
This past season was the year of the comedy in St. Louis Theater. Companies across the city had audiences laughing all season long with slapstick, farce, and satire. There were some wonderful musical productions that really sang, a few hard hitting dramas, but comedies reigned in both quantity and quality. Instead of publishing a Top 10 list this year, I’m going to recognize the Best in St. Louis Theater for 2025. “The Best” is still a shortened list of just 13 shows out of the nearly 90 shows I saw this past year. It took weeks of thought and painstaking consideration to decide which productions would be included in my annual list. Here they are. The productions are listed in alphabetical order, not ranked by favorites:
McCarter Theatre Center will present its 45th annual production of A Christmas Carol from December 9–28, 2025, continuing a tradition that began in 1980. This year’s staging, adapted and directed by Lauren Keating.
The St. Louis Shakespeare Festival’s 2025 Shakespeare in the Park production of Hamlet sets the story in the 1960s, with design elements inspired by Mad Men and an original jazz score performed live.
Often a modern take on a classic will go awry, but Michael Sexton’s brilliant vision creates a phenomenal retelling of Hamlet. His collaboration with his actors and designers gives this production it very cool retro and jazzy vibe. The show’s running time clocks in at just under three hours. It is well paced, moves along expediently, and is masterful storytelling. This is an excellent production that is entertaining for the masses, not just for the Bardolators.
McCarter Theatre Center’s annual production of A Christmas Carol has returned to Princeton, New Jersey, and brings with it plenty of holiday merriment.
