BWW Reviews: Engaging Production of LES MISERABLES at the Fox Theatre
Apparently, if you've seen LES MISERABLES in its current incarnation, you're missing 15 minutes (approximately), and a revolving stage that makes the action come alive.

BWW Reviews: New Jewish Theatre Stages Dramatic LOST IN YONKERS
Though cut from some of the same cloth as his "Eugene" trilogy, LOST IN YONKERS is a different animal all together from playwright Neil Simon.
BWW Reviews: The Rep Stages Lovely DADDY LONG LEGS
With there being so much negativity in the world these days, it's nice to see a play, especially a musical, that has such a sweet disposition.

BWW Reviews: Circle of Eleven's LEO Dazzles at the Edison Theatre
When a magician reveals how a particular trick is accomplished it often spoils the moment.
BWW Reviews: Stray Dog Theatre's Hauntingly Beautiful SPRING AWAKENING
The original cast album of Spring Awakening (music by Duncan Sheik with book and lyrics by Steven Sater) is still in heavy rotation in my iPod, not only because it's a terrifically catchy score, but because of its dramatic power as well.
BWW Reviews: New Line Theatre Produces Hilarious Gem with BLOODY BLOODY ANDREW JACKSON
It's kind of hard to describe the new musical BLOODY BLOODY ANDREW JACKSON (book by Alex Timbers with music and lyrics by Michael Friedman), but only because it's such a phantasmagorical journey through the life and presidency of Andrew Jackson.
BWW Reviews: The Fabulous NICK LOWE at the Sheldon
Nick Lowe performed a solo session at the Sheldon Concert Hall this past week and put on a whale of a good show, mining his catalog for a collection of material both old and new.

BWW Reviews: Ken Haller's Delightful Cabaret - THE TV SHOW!
Ken Haller's latest cabaret foray, "THE TV SHOW!" is a sheer delight, reveling in tunes that a lot of us grew up with emanating from the boob tube.
BWW Reviews: STAGES St. Louis Puts On Flashy and Stylish MY ONE AND ONLY
MY ONE AND ONLY is what I like to call a "retrofit" musical, appropriating tunes from the Gershwin brothers (Ira and George, of course) catalog, while creating a book (Peter Stone and Timothy Mayer) that incorporates familiar elements from 1927, the year it's set in.
BWW Reviews: HotCity Theatre's GOODBYE RUBY TUESDAY - A Touching Slice of Life
One of the really cool things that HotCity Theatre does every year is their Greenhouse New Play Festival.
BWW Reviews: The Rep Presents Stellar BRIGHTON BEACH MEMOIRS
It may seem odd that over the course of 46 seasons the Rep has never produced a work by prolific playwright Neil Simon, and yet it makes sense in a way.
BWW Reviews: Mustard Seed Theatre's Exceptional Production of GOING TO SEE THE ELEPHANT
If you go in thinking you're going to see a pachyderm when you attend GOING TO SEE THE ELEPHANT, then you might be disappointed.
BWW Reviews: Max and Louie Production's Wonderful Presentation of THE VIOLET HOUR
Playwright Richard Greenberg's The Violet Hour is an engaging and intriguing mix that combines a play about a publishing house in 1919 with a Twilight Zone twist.
BWW Reviews: Union Avenue Opera's Charmingly 'Reduced' DAS RHEINGOLD
I've seen the Union Avenue Opera's current production described as "Wagner-lite", and to a degree, that's true.
BWW Reviews: Dazzling Production of THE LION KING at the Fox
Translating an animated feature to the musical stage is a daunting challenge.
BWW Reviews: Elegant and Robust THE KING AND I at The Muny
The Muny closes their 2012 season with the revival of a classic Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, THE KING AND I.
BWW Reviews: Stray Dog Theatre's Nutty Production of THE GREAT AMERICAN TRAILER PARK MUSICAL
There's something lovably crass about THE GREAT AMERICAN TRAILER PARK MUSICAL that makes it a very wild ride, indeed.
BWW Reviews: Hilarious Production of PIRATES! at The Muny
The latest extravaganza to grace the stage at The Muny in Forest Park is a hilarious re-working of Gilbert and Sullivan's Pirates of the Penzance (although some of the tunes are lifted from other works by the pair).
BWW Reviews: Wonderful, Charming THE SOUND OF MUSIC at Stages St. Louis
There are a number of reasons that Rodgers and Hammerstein's THE SOUND OF MUSIC is still so popular today.
BWW Reviews: The Muny's Lively Production of JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT
If you like your JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT's straight up (no chaser), then the current production playing The Muny may not be your cup of tea.
