Theatre Review: ‘Waitress’ Performances Are Sweet As Pie, But Morals Are Debatable
Waitress is based on a 2007 film of the same name, written and directed by Adrienne Shelly. It’s a quirky, funny, and charming film that seems like an interesting choice for a musical adaptation.

Theatre Review: ‘Hamilton’ at the Fabulous Fox in St. Louis (April 3 – 22)
My first exposure to Hamilton – or at least what would eventually become the phenomenon – was in 2009, when Lin-Manuel Miranda performed at the White House Poetry Jam.
