Review: FRANKIE AND JOHNNY IN THE CLAIR DE LUNE at Tower Groves Abbey
by Rob Levy - June 06, 2025

Review: MURDER FOR TWO at STAGES St. Louis is Murder Most Fun!
by James Lindhorst - June 05, 2025
STAGES St. Louis has a hit with their zany Muder for Two. Director Michael Kostroff keeps the fun coming for the entire 90-minutes in a fast-paced audience pleasing comedy. The script is goofy and the lyrics witty, but it is the comedic physicality of two immensely talented actors, singers, pianists, and entertainers who fearlessly earn every laugh. Ian Fairlee and Jeremiah Ginn make a sharp comedic duo who mine plenty of giggles, chortles, guffaws, and thigh-slapping laughter.

Review: HEAVY at Greenfinch Theater And Dive Bar is a Weighty Look at Obesity
by James Lindhorst - June 03, 2025
Satterfield and McIntire’s blunt script carries a lot of unflinching truths about being overweight. Heavy takes on weighty topics. There are several frank adult themed discussions and overt sexuality. It is bold writing with a lot of humor and has much to say about life as an obese person. Heavy is entertaining overall even with the second act plunge into sentimentalism.
Review: THE HEIDI CHRONICLES at New Jewish Theatre
by James Lindhorst - June 01, 2025
The New Jewish Theatre production of The Heidi Chronicles is an entertaining revival of Wasserstein’s seminal work thanks to Ellie Schwetye’s storytelling expertise. Schwetye’s direction and sound design builds the narrative through the chronological timeline she creates. She, and projection designer Kareem Deanes, walk the audience through two-and-a-half decades using projections of memorable newsworthy events and music from the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. It is pure nostalgia for Baby Boomers and some older Gen Xers.  
Review: St. Louis Shakespeare Festival’s HAMLET is Mid-Century Jazzy Cool
by James Lindhorst - May 31, 2025
Often a modern take on a classic will go awry, but Michael Sexton’s brilliant vision creates a phenomenal retelling of Hamlet. His collaboration with his actors and designers gives this production it very cool retro and jazzy vibe. The show’s running time clocks in at just under three hours. It is well paced, moves along expediently, and is masterful storytelling. This is an excellent production that is entertaining for the masses, not just for the Bardolators.

Review: RADIO GOLF at The Black Rep Includes A Theatrical Milestone for Ron Himes and Ronald L. Conner
by James Lindhorst - May 23, 2025
The Black Rep has provided St. Louis audiences many opportunities to see the works of August Wilson. This is an entertaining, well-acted production of Radio Golf. It’s not only an aesthetically pleasing production, but it is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to witness a part of theatrical history with two actors reaching a personal theatrical milestone having now performed in all ten of Wilson’s century cycle plays. Wilson’s works give voice to the black experience in 20th century America with themes that are relatable to all theatergoers. This is an outstanding opportunity to see Wilson’s final and most contemporary play staged by a skilled director and a cast of five extraordinarily talented actors.

Review: & JULIET at Fox Theatre, St. Louis
by Rob Levy - May 22, 2025
A fun romp of gooey fun wrapped in a Shakespearean shell, & Juliet takes the earworm drivel of songs like Baby One More Time, I Want It That Way, Roar, and Since U Been Gone, and makes them musical theater bangers. But, behind the schmaltz and campy energetics, the production entertains thanks to the talents of an exceptional ensemble. Filled with singing, dancing, love, and loyalty, & Juliet is a glorious escapade.
