BWW Reviews: Shakespeare Festival St. Louis Presents Solid OTHELLO
by Chris Gibson - June 10, 2012
When Iago talks about 'Jealousy…the green-eyed monster,' he might as well be referring to himself. It's his envy of Cassio's promotion under the leadership of Moorish general Othello that sets a devious plot in motion that will leave many dead and others wounded. And so it goes, in St. Louis Shakespeare Festival's sparkling production of OTHELLO, which is currently being performed in Forest Park. Be sure to arrive early to enjoy the festivities, and to stake your claim on a prime spot from where you can view this splendidly realized show.

BWW Reviews: Stages St. Louis's Sizzling Production of AIN'T MISBEHAVIN'
by Chris Gibson - June 07, 2012
One of the first shows I remember reviewing when I became a theatre critic was AIN'T MISBEHAVIN', and it's become a favorite of mine ever since. Although, I've had to wait quite a few years for a group to do a revival of this fascinating revue based on the songs and recordings of the fabulous Fats Waller. To kick off their season, Stages St. Louis is presenting a very fine production of this show, and it features, not only five terrifically talented singers, but also a live band to accompany them. This is the first time I've seen Stages actually utilize a live band, and I must say it works out wonderfully well. There's a palpable intensity in the performers as they feed off the positive energy of these exceptional musicians that makes this a must-see event.

BWW Reviews: Circus Flora's Spectacular Show: THE WIZARD
by Chris Gibson - June 06, 2012
Every year I look forward to going to Circus Flora, which is St. Louis's own one-ring (air-conditioned) circus, with family in tow, knowing that a splendid time is guaranteed for all. And, this year's show is no exception. There are acts of equestrian artistry, magical hijinks with the much beloved Nino the Clown, The Flying Wallendas, the St. Louis Arches, and so much more to see. The theme this year is medieval in nature, loosely chronicling the life and mythology of King Arthur with their production of THE WIZARD: MERLIN AND THE LEGEND OF KING ARTHUR. Come one, come all to this fabulous display of acrobatic splendor that's well worth your time and attention.

BWW Reviews: New Line Theatre's Superb Revival of HIGH FIDELITY
by Chris Gibson - June 04, 2012
When I reviewed New Line Theatre's production of HIGH FIDELITY in 2008, I decided to start off in the spirit of Nick Hornby by giving my readers the top five reasons they should see this wonderful musical. Well, here are the Top Five reasons you should see High Fidelity, either for the very first time, or again, in 2012 (in reverse order, naturally). Number Five: because the cast members that remain the same are still superb in their roles, and the new additions make it even more entertaining. Number Four: because the music of Tom Kitt and the lyrics of Amanda Green are pure ear candy that cribs cool bits from classic rock and soul. Number Three: because this time it's in a different venue that allows for a grander scenic design, as well as a larger area for the fun choreography. Number Two: because seeing the musical still beats sitting through the movie, which didn't really capture Hornby's novel completely. And the Number One reason to see this revival production of HIGH FIDELITY: IT ABSOLUTELY ROCKS!

BWW Reviews: HotCity Theatre's Engaging Production of ROUNDING THIRD
by Chris Gibson - May 23, 2012
Playwright Richard Dresser's work, ROUNDING THIRD, really struck a chord with me since I'm a coach on my son's coach-pitch little league team. Sure, I hope they win every game they play, but much like the character of Michael is at the beginning of the play, at their age I'm just happy to see them have a good time playing. This show is more about older kids playing their last season of little league, so it's a bit different in how winning is approached, but it's a splendid look at two contrasting characters who, by the end of the show, have rubbed off a bit on each other, despite their differences. HotCity Theatre's production is a terrific one, powered by two splendid performances.

BWW Reviews: Splendid Production of RIVERDANCE at the Fox Theatre
by Chris Gibson - May 23, 2012
If you had the opportunity to see RIVERDANCE at the Fox this past weekend, then you were treated to a fine display of Terpsichore and musicianship. If you didn't, then you may have missed your chance to see it at all, since it was, in all likelihood, the troupe's final trip to St. Louis. It's a shame, because the show is really an entertaining mix of song and dance. I saw it last year, and I took my wife and son with me this year, and we all enjoyed it tremendously. The sheer athleticism of the dancers, backed by the superb interplay of some world class musicians, is not one that should be missed. The audience in attendance certainly responded very favorably to this unique production.
