BWW Reviews: The Black Rep's Intriguing Production of ANNE & EMMETT
by Chris Gibson - November 02, 2012
Playwright Janet Langhart Cohen has crafted an intriguing work with ANNE & EMMETT, which brings together two seemingly disparate people from history, and then proceeds to show how similar their lives were. The Black Rep's current production is nicely conceived and executed, and features four fine performances. The message conveyed about racism, and its different guises, is an important one, and one not soon forgotten.

BWW Reviews: The Rep's Must-See Production of CLYBOURNE PARK
by Chris Gibson - November 01, 2012
Playwright Bruce Norris has written a real gem with his work CLYBOURNE PARK. This is a wonderfully clever and often hilarious work that looks at racism from two different angles, each represented in acts that take place in the past and in the present, respectively. The current production by the Repertory Theatre of St. Louis is simply perfect, with expert direction and a fabulous cast. This is absolutely must-see theatre, and one, I dare say, that may have you coming back for repeat business.

BWW Reviews: Engaging Production of LES MISERABLES at the Fox Theatre
by Chris Gibson - October 23, 2012
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. Well, I hadn't seen the production in any form-I even missed the Muny's presentation, so this was a fresh experience for me. I can't imagine what was cut, since it's about 3 hours even with the intermission, but the revolving stage might have been nice to have. In any event, this is still an epic musical that stirs the heart and soul, and it left the audience enthralled as it told its sprawling tale. Having read Victor Hugo's unedited text some years ago, and written a paper on how it compared to the Frederic March and Charles Laughton film, I come at this from a different perspective. For me, this modern opera currently playing the Fox Theatre (through October 28, 2012), is generally more impressive due to it's fine performances and expert staging than its reputation.

BWW Reviews: Circus Flora's A CELTIC NIGHT CIRCUS - TIR NA NOG
by Chris Gibson - October 20, 2012
Circus Flora tries something different by offering dinner with a show in their October presentation called: A Celtic Night Circus - TIR NA NOG. It's always a fun time seeing the circus performers do their thing, and combining it with a lovely dinner is a special treat. Although, the story this time around deals with love and adult themes, I brought my young son along and we both had a delightful time.

BWW Reviews: St. Louis Actors' Studio's Fascinating Production of GOOD
by Chris Gibson - October 18, 2012
Playwright C.P. Taylor's work, GOOD, is a piece of theater guaranteed to make the audience think. That's a good thing. Too often, things are so cut and dry that the viewer isn't really required to ponder what they've just seen, they simply digest it and move along. But, Good stays with you, and makes you wonder just what it would take to make a person conform their values and beliefs in an effort to get ahead, even if meant the attempted extermination of a whole race of people. The St. Louis Actors' Studio has put together a fascinating and engaging presentation that truly makes you ask this question. And, with current legislation in Germany being discussed that would outlaw circumcision, it's a timely work that makes you aware of the fact that those who don't learn from their own history may be doomed to repeat it.

BWW Reviews: New Jewish Theatre Stages Dramatic LOST IN YONKERS
by Chris Gibson - October 13, 2012
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. There are laughs to be found for sure, but the overwhelming sense that pervades this particular work is that of the dramatic. There are similarities as well, what with this being a coming-of-age tale, too. But, Simon works these characters differently, even confessing in one of his memoirs that he isn't sure where they all came from. The current presentation by The New Jewish Theatre is a thoughtful and nicely performed rendering.

BWW Reviews: The Rep Stages Lovely DADDY LONG LEGS
by Chris Gibson - October 13, 2012
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. DADDY LONG LEGS (book by John Caird with music and lyrics by Paul Gordon) is just such a production, telling a good story with a fine score, and doing so without any of the ranting and raving we've come to expect from so many modern musicals. The Rep's presentation is splendidly staged and performed, and leaves its audience with a decidedly positive vibe.

BWW Reviews: Upstream Theater's Memorable Production of THE HAIRY APE
by Chris Gibson - October 09, 2012
Upstream Theater consistently brings unique shows to St. Louis. Sometimes they're new and foreign to these shores, and sometimes they're neglected classics. In the case of Eugene O'Neil's THE HAIRY APE, it's the latter, providing us with the opportunity to view a rarely scene play that carries a powerful message of disenfranchisement. The play is buoyed by wonderful performances and exceptional atmospherics. And, it's one of those pieces that stays with you long after the lights dim and the patrons go their separate ways.

BWW Reviews: Circle of Eleven's LEO Dazzles at the Edison Theatre
by Chris Gibson - October 09, 2012
When a magician reveals how a particular trick is accomplished it often spoils the moment. Once we know how something is done, there's no longer any "magic" associated with it. Which is what makes Circle of Eleven's presentation of LEO so amazing. We actually see two rooms on stage, one projected, showing a tilted camera's perspective, and one normal. And, even though we're privy to how the illusion is being generated, it loses none of its charm and wit. This presentation by the Edison Theatre's Ovation series is surreal and amusing, and the acrobatics and athleticism needed to pull it off are simply superb.
