'God's Favorite' is a trial
If anyone can transform the Book of Job into a comedy, it’s Neil Simon. So I thought. I was wrong.

Michael Feinstein delivers cabaret on steroids for Mother's Day
Written by Chuck Lavazzi
Michael Feinstein’s appearance with the St. Louis Symphony on Mother’s Day had all the elements of a classic, well-crafted cabaret show.
Paul Rudnick’s The New Century is a funny play with an agenda—on paper. In Max and Louie’s production, it has its moments, but is disappointing overall.

A (mostly) jolly holiday with 'Mary Poppins' at the Peabody

Union Avenue Opera's 'Acis and Galatea' is a perfect fit
Written by Chuck Lavazzi
The production of Handel’s 1739 pastoral opera “Acis and Galatea” that graced Union Avenue Opera’s stage this past weekend was pretty much a perfect fit for the company and its space.
