BWW Review: David Lanz's Gorgeous FRENCH IMPRESSIONS
by Chris Gibson - November 06, 2017
As the liner notes reveal, this collection by composer/pianist David Lanz sprang forth from improvisations that resulted during preparations for the NORWEGIAN RAIN album. By warming up with these spontaneous songs, he allowed their gentle influence to wash over the latter work's tracks. But, FRENCH IMPRESSIONS stands on its own. Moody, ambient, and full of contemplative themes, the new release (recorded in 2016, while temporarily residing at a French villa) is a stunning and soothing piece that is, indeed, impressionistic. And, like the famed painters who chose that style to work in, it possesses the same kind of feelings those painting inspire. I believe each individual that listens to these compositions will have an experience that is unique to them. Like all of Lanz's catalog, especially from the last few years, it's lovely from start to finish, filled with songs that are evocative and gorgeous. This is yet another stellar accomplishment from an artist who only seems to get better and better with age, much like a fine wine.

BWW Review: Expect the Unexpected in Repertory Theatre St. Louis' Wonderful HEISENBERG
by Chris Gibson - November 02, 2017
Life lurches along in unexpected directions for most of us, and that's what makes playwright Simon Stephens' HEISENBERG so identifiable. There actually is a Heisenberg Principle , which says: it is impossible to measure the position and velocity of a particle at the same time. So, we're never able to ascertain where they are or where they are going at any given time. A lot of my friends are like that. Which brings us to The Repertory Theatre St. Louis's wonderful production of this play, which is taking place in the Studio Theatre of the Loretto-Hilton. This is the perfect venue for it, since it allows us to eavesdrop on the odd and intimate encounters of two very unlikely companions. It all comes off very spontaneous in execution, which is certainly a credit to the two compelling performers (Joneal Joplin and Susan Louise O'Connor), as well as sparkling direction of Steven Woolf. This is, again, a real must-see work.

BWW Review: Marvelous HAMLET at The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis
by Chris Gibson - October 18, 2017
The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis presents a uniquely engaging and compelling presentation of one of Shakespeare's finest plays with their current production of HAMLET. So many great lines that have become a part of our language are present here, and it's really amazing to think that the Rep hasn't staged this show until now. I think that just makes it all the more special, especially since director Paul Mason Barnes, who has an undeniable talent for interpreting the Bard, brings his vision to the project. Purists may quibble with it, but I found this staging utterly remarkable. Some people prefer their Shakespeare straight up, no chaser. But I've always found his canon to be extremely malleable; no matter how much you tinker with certain aspects, the powerful and poetic text will always shine through. Now, a lot has been cut to keep the show to a reasonable length (three hours split over two acts; we're not Elizabethan audiences, after all), but they're not things that are central to the plot, and overall, this trimming adds momentum, as well as ratcheting up the tension. I wholeheartedly recommend this production, and I think it's an example of must-see theater performed at its highest level.
