The Yeomen of the Guard presented by Light Opera Works at Cahn Auditorium

Chicago Reader - Highly Recommended

"... Anticipating modern musical theater, Yeomen deftly juxtaposes loopy whimsy with emotional complexity and surprisingly dark humor. The music features ravishing vocal ensembles and arias as well as rapid-fire patter songs, and the script and lyrics include some of W.S. Gilbert's wittiest wordplay. Rudy Hogenmiller's solid Light Opera Works staging boasts fine performances--standouts include George Andrew Wolff as the jester, Alicia Berneche as his inamorata, and Alex Honzen as the jailer--and the large orchestra under Roger Bingaman's baton does justice to Arthur Sullivan's muscular brass fanfares."

Chicago Stage and Screen - Highly Recommended

"...Rudy Hogenmiller’s triumphant Light Opera Works revival works on every level: The look, sound, feel and accuracy come through full force. George Andrew Wolff’s Jack Point is the perfect surrogate for Gilbert himself, a jester who never gets enough respect for amusing folks by exposing their folly. Colm Fitzmaurice brings a soaring tenor to the equally noble role of Fairfax, while as his unwitting wife Elsie, Alicia Berneche handles her arias with grace and conviction."
