Chuck's Choices for the weekend of July 13, 2012

As always, the choices are purely my personal opinion. Take with a grain (or a shaker) of salt.

New this week:

The Pub Theater Company presents Bye Bye Liver: The St. Louis Drinking Play, a comedic romp through the joys and pitfalls of The Gateway to the West's favorite pastime. Performances take place on Saturdays at 9 PM at Maggie O'Brien's, 2000 Market Street. The show has been running for as long as I can remember, so it deserves points for longevity, if nothing else. Word on the street is that it's not great art but is great fun. For more information, you may call 314-827-4185, email stlouis at byebyeliver.com, or visit byebyeliver.com/stlouis.

Held over:

The Muny presents the first Muny production of the Broadway musical Aladdin through Friday in the outdoor theatre in Forest Park. The show has gotten great reviews, including from Connie Bollinger at 88.1 KDHX, who describes it as "a treasure of fun and surprises for everyone." Besides, the cast includes our own Ken Page, Thom Sesma (who was such an impressive Sweeney Todd at the Rep many years ago), and Mr. Showbiz himself, the irrepressible Jason Graae. For more information, visit muny.org or call 314-361-1900.
