BWW Reviews: Temporary Theatre Debuts with Fun-Filled Production of GUTENBERG! THE MUSICAL! Though 3/28
by Chris Gibson - March 15, 2010
At our current rate of consumption, is it conceivable that we could ever reach a point where every movie, book, historical figure, or current event available will have been used as the basis for a musical? Probably not. But, with that idea in mind, writers/composers Scott Brown and Anthony King have crafted a rather unlikely vehicle titled GUTENBERG! THE MUSICAL!, which was originally developed during their work with the comedy troupe the Upright Citizens Brigade. A wonderfully energetic production of this piece, featuring a sharp cast and tight direction, marks the debut of the new Temporary Theatre company at the Ivory Theatre.
BWW Reviews: Muddy Waters Theatre Presents Exceptional Production of DESIRE UNDER THE ELMS Through 3/28
by Chris Gibson - March 15, 2010
Muddy Waters Theatre begin their season of O'Neill with the classic American morality tale, DESIRE UNDER THE ELMS, a play that manages to examine nearly all of the seven deadly sins before reaching its dramatic conclusion. If you've only seen the woefully miscast movie version (I mean, really, Burl Ives, Sophia Loren and Anthony Perkins as the love triangle?), then you owe it to yourself to check out a well cast and thoughtfully directed production, and the current presentation by Muddy Waters fills the bill nicely.

BWW Reviews: Repertory Theatre of St. Louis Presents Brilliant Adaptation of CRIME AND PUNISHMENT
by Chris Gibson - March 14, 2010
If you've never read Fyodor Dostoyevsky's mammoth classic CRIME AND PUNISHMENT, you're probably still familiar with certain themes and characters that populate this piece of Russian literature. The particularly misguided concept of there being extraordinary humans amongst us that feel they have the right to govern and commit acts of murder because they are 'above the law', and because it is for the good of all mankind, is certainly nothing new to anyone who follows politics, or knows their history. It's at the heart of Dostoyevsky's work, and in Marilyn Campbell and Curt Columbus's smartly compressed adaptation that point is clearly communicated.
BWW Reviews: Imaginary Theatre Company Presents Delightful Production of A PETER RABBIT TALE 3/14
by Chris Gibson - March 14, 2010
The Imaginary Theatre Company opens the spring season with a cute production of A PETER RABBIT TALE. This is a sassy and entertaining re-working of a childhood favorite that adds a pleasant and catchy score to the familiar story. I brought my wife and son along to attend one of two performances that were scheduled for a drizzly day (March 14, 2010) at Nerinx Hall High School, and judging by the packed house and smiling faces all around, it was definitely a worthwhile experience.
