I suppose there are things more majestic, dramatic, emotional and joyful than Riverdance, but this two hour song and dance fest would be hard to beat.

There’s nothing I love more than seeing young people participate in live theater, and I have a real soft spot for the works of Shakespeare. So I looked forward to experiencing Washington University’s production of Shakespeare’s As You Like It.

In the Black Rep production of "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom," the cancers of racial inequality and overt cruelty are laid bare with a finessed, punch-to–the-gut impact, one that left me with a renewed sense of outrage for a brand of casual racism that must never, ever be tolerated again.

I'm not a fan of Tennessee Williams. I find most of his plays dark and rather hard to watch, like witnessing a family fight at Christmas dinner or watching a freight train approach a group of bunnies.

A Midsummer Night's Dream is a delightful play in its own right, but in the hands of the amazing director Chris Anthony and the superb choreographer Heather Beal, the Shakespeare favorite is transformed into a production that rocks to a disco beat.

Gritty and earthy, Arthur Laurent’s West Side Story had a profound effect on its audiences when it opened on Broadway in 1957 and indeed some say the Leonard Bernstein score, the Stephen Sondheim lyrics, and the smashing choreography by Jerome Robbins changed the course of American musical theater forever.

Thundering applause and a standing ovation greeted comedian Lewis Black at the Peabody Opera House last  night as he brought his "In God We Rust" comedy tour to St. Louis.

An apt tribute to the Fab Four at the Fox.

Tessitura: Watch out for flying children at the City Museum!

Impression, illusion, and yes, some confusion abounds in this lavish musical but, hey, it's Sondheim and he seldom lets us off easy.
