The Midnight Company presents an encore performance of Just One Look by Joe Hanrahan, starring Kelly Howe as Linda Ronstadt, on Wednesday May 26th at 7:30 pm. “Linda Ronstadt ruled the pop charts and filled stadiums in the 70’s and 80’s. The reigning rock goddess of her era, she later took on light opera - Gilbert and Sullivan on Broadway - and The Great American Songbook with Nelson Riddle. Her involvement in social issues accelerated during her relationship with California Governor Jerry Brown, then running for President. But for Linda, it was always a search for the next great song. Kelly Howe will portray Linda Ronstadt and sing her sensational songs.” Performances take place at The Blue Strawberry, 356 N. Boyle. For more information: bluestrawberrystl.com
The Midnight Company presents Eileen Engel and Joe Hanrahan in Movie Music Sunday June 30 at 7 pm. “The Midnight Company’s world premiere cabaret theatre show, Movie Music, will feature a dozen award-winning songs. Eileen Engel and Joe Hanrahan serve as hosts for a colorful evening of movie memories. They’ll tell the stories behind these movies—the origins, the casting, and some of the foibles that inevitably go along with big productions. They’ll present memorable scenes from these movies as well, and will revisit and present the amazing songs that provided the soundtrack to these films and to our lives.” The show is written and directed by Joe Hanrahan with music direction by Colin Healy. Performances take place at The Blue Strawberry, 356 N. Boyle. For more information: bluestrawberrystl.com
The Muny presents Dreamgirls June 27 through July 3 at 8:15 pm. “A smash-hit Broadway musical that became an Oscar-nominated film, Dreamgirls follows an all-girl Motown singing group on the path from obscurity to superstardom in the 1960s and ‘70s. Along the way, the rising stars must question the price of their success and the meaning of family. It’s a whirlwind ride through the highs and lows of showbiz in an era of change in American pop music.” For more information: muny.org.

St. Louis Shakespeare’s Magic Smoking Monkey Theatre presents Titanic On Ice: The Musical! through June 29. “Imagine the grandeur of the Titanic, now with 100% more ice skates* and 200% more laughs. Our story sails through the familiar tale of Jack, Rose, and a rather inconvenient iceberg, but with a twist only the Monkeys could concoct. This musical extravaganza is packed with wildly reimagined characters, toe-tapping tunes that parody classic hits, and, of course, a liberal dose of Monkey-style humor. *The appearance of 'ice skates' in our show is entirely subject to whether management approves our grand plan to flood and freeze the stage.” Performances take place at Lift for Life Academy High School, 1731 S. Broadway. For more information: www.stlshakespeare.org.
