BWW Reviews: SHOW BOAT at the Muny
by Chris Gibson - August 11, 2010
When I started writing this review I had Turner Classics on, and it just so happened they were playing SHOW BOAT. Funny how that works sometimes, when you've just seen a splendid live performance of a show the night before, and the next evening you stumble across Hollywood's take on the material. Seeing it live is always better, I think, and SHOW BOAT has a definite history with the Muny, a fact clearly reflected by the numerous stagings it's had since its initial appearance in 1930. But, that's to be expected, since this is the perfect venue for Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II's memorable adaptation of Edna Ferber's sprawling novel. And as such, it provides us with a particularly grand finale for the Muny's 2010 season.

BWW Reviews: Stages St. Louis's Production of DISNEY'S THE ARISTOCATS
by Chris Gibson - August 08, 2010
Since I first started taking my son along with me to see children's shows, it's become readily apparent to me that he especially enjoys seeing the ones put on by Stages St. Louis. That's because they're always entertaining and fun, and they don't wear out their welcome by running too long. Their current presentation of DISNEY'S THE ARISTOCATS is another fine example of the kind of engaging productions they present year in and year out. And, I'm happy to report that my son absolutely loved it (my wife and I did, too)!
BWW Reviews: St. Louis Shakespeare's ANTON IN SHOW BUSINESS
by Chris Gibson - August 08, 2010
ANTON IN SHOW BUSINESS, written by playwright Jane Martin, has some clever ideas going for it, including taking on the sacred institution of Anton Chekov himself, as well as examining the ongoing conflict between art and commerce. However, it comes off as more a collection of interesting and amusing bits and pieces, than the pure farce it masquerades as. St. Louis Shakespeare has concocted an engaging production of this work that's occasionally hilarious, and definitely worthy of your time and attention.
BWW Reviews: THAT CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON Presented By Dramatic License Productions
by Chris Gibson - August 08, 2010
Though actor/playwright Jason Miller may be best remembered for his turns as troubled priest Father Damien in The Exorcist (and Exorcist III: Legion), he should probably be thought of for his Pulitzer-prize winning work, THAT CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON. It's a powerful piece that, on the surface, follows a group of ex-high school basketball champs as they attend an annual reunion at their old coach's house. But on a deeper level, it's an examination of the philosophy of winning at all costs and how that applies to the worlds of sports and politics, as well as life in general. Dramatic License Productions has put together an exceptional presentation of this show that features a particularly strong cast and sensitive direction.

Dramatic License Productions Presents THAT CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON 8/5-22
by BWW News Desk - August 05, 2010
Which actor in the movie The Exorcist also wrote the Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning drama, THAT CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON to be presented by Dramatic License Productions, August 5-22? The answer: Jason Miller (who played Father Damien Karras in the 1973 movie) won the Tony, the Pulitzer and the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award that same year for his gritty, ahead-of-its-time drama about four men who reunite with their high school basketball coach for a 20th anniversary celebration of their state championship basketball game. Dramatic License Productions presents the gripping play for the first time on a St. Louis professional theatre stage.
