REVIEW; Repertory Theatre of St. Louis Presents Outstanding Production of [title of show]
by Chris Gibson - January 21, 2010
[title of show] is an interesting new musical that chronicles the very creation of the show itself, and then documents the rocky road it takes on its journey to Broadway. The musical was initially conceived as a writer's exercise by Jeff Bowen and Hunter Bell, who used a 3 ½ week deadline for a festival contest as motivation. But, somewhere along the line the play began to take on a life of its own. The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis is presenting a wonderfully clever production of this work that's greatly aided by a superb cast and sharp direction.

REVIEW: Black Rep Opens 33rd Season with 1960's take on ROMEO AND JULIET
by Chris Gibson - January 21, 2010
In director Chris Anthony's notes in the program she discusses the question of relevance where Shakespeare's ROMEO AND JULIET is concerned. She correctly points out that 'Shakespeare wrote a story about two families that are fighting and two teenagers that are in love. If you have ever fought or fallen in love, Shakespeare is for you.' This timeless and tragic classic continues to resonate with modern audiences, and under Anthony's guidance it gets a new coat of paint by setting the tale in the turbulent 1960's during the so-called 'summer of love'.

REVIEW: Repertory Theatre of St. Louis Presents Hilarious 'Tour De Farce' with Their Production of THE 39 STEPS
by Chris Gibson - January 21, 2010
The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis opens 2010 with a brilliant adaptation of director Alfred Hitchcock's classic of the silver screen, THE 39 STEPS. Patrick Barlow's script based on Simon Corble and Nobby Dimon's original conception (as well as John Buchan's novel and Hitchcock's amazing film) utilizes the services of a mere four actors to carry the action of this purposely convoluted plot, which not only requires a great deal of talent, but also a certain degree of speed in order pull off all of the tricky transitions that occur. This witty 'tour de farce' is a non-stop laugh riot, performed by a game and terrific cast that keeps the hilarity flowing from start to finish.

REVIEW: CIRCUS INCOGNITUS Dazzles and Delights at the Edison Theatre
by Chris Gibson - January 18, 2010
Jamie Adkins is a unique talent, and his extraordinary abilities were on display at the Edison Theatre (January 16, 2010), on the campus of Washington University, in his one man show CIRCUS INCOGNITUS.

REVIEW: Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder Entertain Crowd at the Sheldon
by Chris Gibson - January 18, 2010
More than the passage of time has turned country singer/musician Ricky Skaggs into one of the elder statesmen of bluegrass. The die was cast from the minute he stepped onto a stage at age five to pick his mandolin with the legendary Bill Monroe. And, while his long locks may have almost completely faded to gray, there's still a fire for producing the authentic sounds of country music that burns within him.
