BWW Reviews: Flashy and Fun VICTOR/VICTORIA Closes Stages St. Louis' 25th Season
by Chris Gibson - September 16, 2011
What is it about movie adaptations and Broadway? They're constantly adapting motion pictures for the stage, and yet, the majority are expensive flops and failures. Is it the fickle nature of the 'Great White Way', or simply cynical critics and theatre patrons who are jaded by these repeat offenders? Well, their loss is our gain, and the funny, romantic, utterly charming and delightful production of VICTOR/VICTORIA by Stages St. Louis is certainly proof enough that something is amiss in their estimations. This closer for Stages season is well worth you time and attention, and proves once again that some productions just work better in other venues.

BWW Reviews: New Jewish Theatre Opens Season with Funny and Touching END DAYS
by Chris Gibson - September 14, 2011
Playwright Deborah Zoe Laufer's END DAYS is a whimsical sort of farce with heart, a humorous work that starts off amusing, but in the end, winds up teaching its characters what it means to be a real family. It's the kind of ensemble piece that the New Jewish Theatre does so well, and their current production is a well acted and neatly directed presentation that's a wacky delight.

BWW Reviews: The Rep's Stunningly Good Production of RED
by Chris Gibson - September 12, 2011
The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis opens their season with a real corker. RED is simply ablaze with what I can only call abstract emotionalism, heating up the stage with intense performances and dialog that crackles with commentaries on art and life in general. This might be a critical cliché at this point, but this is one hot ticket and must-see event, with the two performers working under expert guidance and delivering a brilliant 90 minutes of theatre that makes you think, which is much too rare of an experience these days. This study of Mark Rothko, and the muse that guides him and his work is a sheer delight that makes you wonder what happened to any kind of real expressionism in the world of art.

BWW Reviews: HotCity Theatre's Disturbing Production of THE WINNERS
by Chris Gibson - September 11, 2011
The basic premise of THE WINNERS, a winner itself of the HotCity Theatre Greenhouse play competition, is really just a twist by playwright David L.Williams on the old idea about money buying (or not buying) happiness. However, there's something genuinely discomforting going on here that disturbs me, and not just as a theatre patron, but as a parent. I don't want to give away too much, because spoilers are always unwelcome in reviews, suffice to say that my enjoyment was hindered by some problematic elements that are key to the work. But I'd be a hypocrite if I said I didn't like it because the characters are unlikable or the story bothersome, because there are plenty of successful (and justly famous) plays that have the same kind of issues. Like a horror movie that makes you squirm in your seat uncomfortably, THE WINNERS is disquieting stuff, but that doesn't mean it isn't worthy of discussion, or viewing.

BWW Reviews: Mustard Seed Theatre Premieres Dramatic New Play - FALLING
by Chris Gibson - September 04, 2011
Playwright Deanna Jent's FALLING is an intriguing piece of theatre, drawing on her own real life experiences caring for a teenager with autism, but creating something wholly original in the process. As the parent of a five year old, there's a frightening aspect to watching this tale unfold, thinking all the while that this could have been something I'd have had to deal with had this specific condition occurred to my own darling little boy. It's a scary thought indeed, and one that constantly cropped up in my head as I watched the story unfold. Would I have had the inner strength necessary to cope with such a problematic situation? Would my marriage have been able to withstand the strain? Mustard Seed Theatre's production raises these questions and more while also managing to entertain and bring a certain degree of good humor to the proceedings as well.

BWW Reviews: Blue Rose Stage Collective and River CIty Theatre's Excellent Production of THE GUYS
by Chris Gibson - August 30, 2011
As we approach the 10th anniversary of 911, Blue Rose Stage Collective and River City Theatre are presenting playwright Anne Nelson's THE GUYS, which looks back at that fateful day in a most unique and diverting manner. If there's one thing this tragic day has taught us, it's to be aware and ever-vigilant, but also to remember, not just the event itself, but the brave people who gave their lives trying to rescue those poor souls trapped in the twin towers as the planes guided by terrorists struck them. It's a powerful and surprisingly, at times, light-hearted look at a particular time in our history that must never be forgotten, and this production is outstanding.
