BWW Review: STAGES St. Louis's Hilarious Must-See 9 TO 5
by Chris Gibson - July 29, 2017
It's not surprising that the 1980 film 9 to 5 was turned into a musical, since it's revenge driven farcical plot is a natural fit, and it's a period piece, so it has that going for it as well. Plus, you have Dolly Parton, whose physical attributes sometimes make one forget how great a songwriter she is, providing material written for the show, and adding pieces plucked from her own recordings. It's a great show for a strong and varied female cast, and STAGES' current production doesn't disappoint, with the lead roles filled by outstanding performers. And, one thing is certain, it's a real crowd-pleaser, generating tons of laughs, and a number of memorable moments.

BWW Review: The MUNY's Amazing and Wonderful THE UNSINKABLE MOLLY BROWN
by Chris Gibson - July 25, 2017
Dick Scanlan (revised book and additional lyrics) deserves a hand for the long process that led to a reinvigorated and refocused version of Meredith Willson's THE UNSINKABLE MOLLY BROWN. A few years ago he started tinkering with this venerable classic, having workshops and readings before finally hitting the stage. Scanlan retains more than a half dozen of the original numbers, and adds some of Willson's trunk songs, as well as some songs written for the movie, to flesh out this tale, which truly highlights the life of Molly Brown in more accurately historical fashion. It's the current production playing at the MUNY, and it's a breath of fresh air, led by Beth Malone's scintillating performance, and staged with a scope that opens the show up like a piece of Colorado real estate. It's an invigorating must-see!

Gesher Music Festival Returns 8/10-20
by BWW News Desk - July 18, 2017
The Gesher Music Festival returns in August for its 7th Season bringing professional musicians to St. Louis to perform chamber music with a "Jewish twist" or inflection. This year's theme, "WAR & PEACE" explores music and stories reflecting the Jewish experience which illuminate our common humanity even in times of conflict. The concerts explore the music of World War I in "Beyond the Trenches," the painful stories of war and conflict in "Prayers for Peace" as well as how music is a bridge (gesher) in "Transcending Borders". All of this through the music of both Jewish and non-Jewish composers and lyricists who represent different times and nationalities. Three distinct concerts reflect these themes, each in a different venue. In addition, there is an opportunity to "Meet the Musicians" in a more informal setting as they perform some of their personal favorite pieces as well as a Family Concert, appropriate for all ages.

BWW Review: The MUNY's Engaging and Lively ALL SHOOK UP
by Chris Gibson - July 14, 2017
ALL SHOOK UP, a celebration of music performed by the King, Elvis Presley, is a entertaining mash-up of Shakespeare's TWELFTH NIGHT, combined with some ideas from FOOTLOOSE, and with just a pinch of the movie version of GREASE (book by Joe DiPietro). I know how that sounds, but instead of taking itself or the music too seriously, this show actually achieves a sort of subversive and hilarious kitsch appeal. It's the current production on the MUNY's stage, and it's a splashy, funny, silly, and tune-filled hoot from start to finish.

BWW Review: The MUNY's Uproarious and Delightful A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM
by Chris Gibson - July 09, 2017
Brimming with painfully amusing puns, by gag writers Larry Gelbart and Bert Shevelove , who bring a bit of borscht belt humor and a sprinkling of vaudeville to the proceedings, and adorned with the wonderful music and lyrics of Stephen Sondheim, A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM is an incredibly engaging and entertaining show, and it's the current attraction at The MUNY. It's a great match, and a perfect show for a summer evening, filled with sparkling, bawdy jokes, and brought to life with considerable energy by a stellar cast. I highly recommend this classic musical!
