REVIEW: GREASE Featuring Taylor Hicks Takes the Stage at the Fox Theatre
by Chris Gibson - January 13, 2010
Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey's GREASE is one of my favorite shows, and I've seen several different versions of it over the last few years. Having seen the movie when I was a teenager, I'd always preferred productions that included songs from the film. But, ever since I saw New Line Theatre's raw, original take, I've become something of a purist. I still enjoy the inclusion of John Farrar and Barry Gibb's tunes, but I do think the show ends up watered down in the process. So, I was curious as to how the touring company, which features former American Idol contestant Taylor Hicks in the Teen Angel role, would play.

Theatre in St. Louis: Best of 2009
by Chris Gibson - January 11, 2010
2009 provided me with the opportunity to review 126 of the more than 200 shows that were available in the St. Louis region, and it began in terrific fashion with New Line Theatre's NIGHT OF THE LIVING SHOW TUNES. This was a wonderful sampling of contemporary show tunes performed by a cast of talented locals, and featuring artistic director Scott Miller's fine accompaniment on piano. In the acoustically perfect confines of the Sheldon Concert Hall, these unique melodies made a glorious noise. And, as I continued on my quest to expose my young son to the world of musical theatre, I ended the year with the Imaginary Theatre Company's splendid presentation of BAH! HUMBUG!. I was lucky enough to catch quite a few gems in between, and I've decided to compile a list of the ten most intriguing and engaging productions I saw in 2009.
REVIEW: St. Louis Actors' Studio Presents Funny and Provocative Production of LOVE SONG
by Chris Gibson - January 11, 2010
The first thing I was reminded of while watching John Kolvenbach's funny and intriguing play, LOVE SONG, was David Lynch's surreal cult film, ERASERHEAD, if only for the obvious comparisons that pop up between their respective protagonists. Henry, in ERASERHEAD, is a lonely daydreamer with an overactive and dark imagination, and so, to a degree, is Beane from LOVE SONG. But, the comparisons really end there. LOVE SONG follows an odd, melancholy, yet decidedly cheerier path, presenting its audience with a number of strong laughs, and plenty to chew on. The St. Louis Actors' Studio's current production is a charming and provocative delight, buoyed by a talented cast and sharp direction.
