Review: XANADU at Tower Groves Abbey


by Rob Levy - April 15, 2024

Based on the 1980 film starring Olivia Newton-John and, before that, the Rita Hayworth film, Down To Earth, this lively adaptation never takes itself too seriously. From start to finish the ensemble prances, preens, and mugs it up, giving audiences a sugary sweet over the top show filled with kineti...

Review: THE CHER SHOW at The Stifel Theatre


by James Lindhorst - April 11, 2024

THE CHER SHOW is an eye-popping traipse down memory lane but suffers from drive-by storytelling. While far from perfect as a full-fledged Broadway musical, there are plenty of wildly entertaining moments that make this show more enjoyable than it should be. It is the casting, strong vocal performanc...

Review: DARK MATTERS at Union Avenue Christian Church


by James Lindhorst - April 08, 2024

Review: THE WHALE at The Gaslight Theatre


by James Lindhorst - April 06, 2024

This is an excellent production of a story that is difficult to watch. The direction is sharp, the acting is flawless, and the technical theatre quality is first rate. The artists at St. Louis Actors’ studio have milked every bit of emotion they can wring from a strong script with, what was for me, ...
