Review: THE LIFE OF PI at the Fabulous Fox Theatre
by Rob Levy - October 13, 2025
There are no musical numbers in the Fox Theatre’s 2025-2026 season opener. But that’s okay. Instead of a full-blown musical spectacle the company has opted for a moving production of The Life of Pi.

Review: PROFESSOR HOUSE is Gripping Psychological Drama
by James Lindhorst - October 13, 2025
Professor House blends Jacob Juntunen’s psychologically charged script with visionary direction, spellbinding performances, and evocative lighting and sound design. Director Sam Hayes, the cast, and technical team create an otherworldly experience that is riveting, thrilling, and absorbing. The macabre subject matter is deeply unsettling, but Hayes’ immersive storytelling is impressively unforgettable. It is a directorial masterwork from an emerging theater artist with an immense amount of vision and talent.

Review: PATRICIA SINGS PIAF at The Sheldon
by Steve Callahan - October 13, 2025
It’s been a really, really good year in St. Louis for French songs. In April the Blue Strawberry hosted a marvelous evening of Jacques Brel, the superstar chansonnier of the ‘50s and ‘60s. Now, at the Sheldon, we have an evening of that even more dazzling icon, Édith Piaf, who blazed across the world’s musical firmament a generation earlier.

Interview: St. Louisan Michael Schimmele Talks About Making His Broadway Debut in DISNEY’S ALADDIN
by James Lindhorst - October 12, 2025
For the past year, St. Louisan Michael Schimmele has been living his dream. Schimmele is currently playing Babkak in Disney’s Aladdin at the New Amsterdam Theatre on Broadway. Babkak is Aladdin’s food-loving, wise cracking friend with a sky-high tenor.

Review: ELSINORE is a Hamlet Prequel filled with Envy and Bloodlust
by James Lindhorst - October 10, 2025
Elsinore is a bit of a coming-of-age tragedy peppered with romance, envy, and bloodlust, setting the stage for the beginning of Hamlet. It written with formal vernacular to enhance the story’s credibility. David Nonemaker and Eric Satterfield’s storytelling relies on many Shakespearean conventions including the use of soliloquies and asides, ghostly visits, a mix of comedy and tragedy, conflict, and one murder most foul. The one thing that is missing is a resolution. Elsinore is a bit like episodic television. It ends with a cliffhanger, but audiences already know the rest of the story.

Review: THE MINUTES at Tower Grove Abbey
by Rob Levy - October 08, 2025
Tense, terse, and at times testy, The Minutes is almost two plays in one. While the first half gives off the vibe of a comedic tale of small-town bureaucracy, the second half is a darker and more cynical examination of the erosion of power structures.

Review: ST. NICHOLAS at The Midnight Company is a Story of Obsession and Consequences
by James Lindhorst - October 03, 2025
The Midnight Company’s production of St. Nicholas is built for fans of vampire stories. The story of obsession leads a man to walk down a dark path with irreversible consequence. The script and Hanrahan’s delivery never quite reach a level of creepy macabre, but it is a fascinating story that’s suited to the Halloween season. The Midnight Company’s production of St. Nicholas continues at Greenfinch Theater and Dive Bar through October 5, 2025. Visit midnightcompany.com for more information.
