46th State
Oklahoma! The musical. With the singing and dancing and cowboys and pretty women in big dresses.
The Webster University Department of Theatre and Dance is putting on the show, and this time the students get the main stage at the Loretto-Hiliton Center (home of the St. Louis Rep and parking space theft).
I love the student shows. I love them more than professional shows. Maybe it's because I see the actors on campus? That might be it, but the quality of the student shows are on par with professional productions at Webster. As a student, I can get into shows for much less than the actual ticket price, so I take advantage of it. Over the past few years I've developed a habit for picking student productions over the others, even if the story doesn't greatly appeal to my interests. I don't care much for musicals, but putting that dislike aside for a night won't hurt (much).
Oklahoma

7:30 p.m. all days, except 2 p.m. on Sunday
Not sure about the ticket prices, but it's not much. Maybe $10? Will edit with actual price later.

Youtube refreshed my memory of a few of the songs.
Maybe I'll sing along in my head when I go see the show.
