BWW Reviews: Black Rep's Uplifting Production of BLACK NATIVITY
by Chris Gibson - November 27, 2011
I've seen the Black Rep's production of BLACK NATIVITY before, and I enjoyed it so much I thought I'd check it out again this year. It's an amazing, uplifting work told in two acts that examine the story of the birth of Christ and the true meaning of Christmas with completely different approaches. It's also a joyous celebration well worth your time and attention, featuring a strong, talented cast and expert direction.

BWW Reviews: Fun and Tuneful Production of MAMMA MIA! Plays at the Fox Theatre
by Chris Gibson - November 26, 2011
It may not have the depth of a show like Jersey Boys, but it's easy to understand the appeal of a jukebox musical like MAMMA MIA!, especially when you consider just how tuneful the score is, overflowing with a couple dozen of ABBA's greatest hits. Besides, although the motion picture adaptation looked great (the countryside, not the grungy taverna), it came up empty in a lot of other ways, especially where the singing was concerned. So, seeing a production live is really your best bet at enjoying it to its fullest. The current touring show gracing the stage of the Fox Theatre is a splendid presentation, as engaging and charming as we've come to expect, and brimming with plenty of good humor.

BWW Reviews: Citilites Closes 2011 Season with Delightful Production of BABY
by Chris Gibson - November 23, 2011
Even though three couples are the focus of Richard Maltby (lyrics), David Shire (music) and Sybille Pearson's (book) musical called BABY, there's a very good reason the title is singular and not plural. I mention that only to let you know that the play, as charming and engaging as it is, has some moments of drama present as well. This production by Citilites Theatre is nicely done, with a well cast group of couples, and splendid direction by Nick Moramarco, who also did the musical direction and accompanies the group on piano.

BWW Reviews: Mustard Seed Theatre Presents Compelling and Entertaining Production of GODSPELL
by Chris Gibson - November 23, 2011
Ever since I produced the music for a production of the musical GODSPELL it's held a special place in my heart. Working as a one-man band, I became intimately familiar with Stephen Schwartz's genre-hopping score. Ever since, I've been a unabashed fan of the work, and try to catch as many productions of it as I can (which isn't easy with my busy schedule). Mustard Seed Theatre is presenting an exceptional presentation that's distinguished by an excellent cast, sharp musical direction, and absolutely expert ensemble direction.

BWW Reviews: Washington University's Ovation Series Wows with Stellar Production of INTERGALACTIC NEMESIS
by Chris Gibson - November 23, 2011
My son Zachary wasn't sure if he wanted to see INTERGALACTIC NEMESIS, and then I explained to him exactly what the concept was (and showed him a couple of clips from the website). Suddenly, he was very interested. I was instantly reminded of times we've spent together before bedtime, me clutching a comic book in one hand, and he hanging on my every word as I describe the action and portray the different characters from the story. This show brings those actions to life in exciting fashion, combining the use of 1250 panels of hand drawn action (projected on a Hi-Res screen), three voice actors who cover all the characters who populate this adventure, a talented foley artist who makes sure the atmosphere feels authentic, and a pianist who accompanies it all with a thrilling score. Intergalactic Nemesis does exactly what it sets out to do, bringing a graphic novel to life on stage in thrilling, compelling, and sometimes downright humorous manner.

BWW Book Reviews: Scott Miller's Informative and Engaging SEX, DRUGS, ROCK & ROLL, AND MUSICALS
by Chris Gibson - November 11, 2011
If you're looking for a book on contemporary musicals that's as entertaining as it is informative, you can't go wrong with Scott Miller's new book, SEX, DRUGS, ROCK & ROLL, AND MUSICALS. Miller examines the post modern musical with a depth of knowledge that's astounding. His theatre company, New Line, has produced the majority of the shows mentioned in this work (with the exception of a few from the last chapter), and his understanding of their themes and underlying motivations will have you aching to see those shows again, or at the very least, you'll want to refer back to any original cast albums you may have in your collection.
