What the critics say about Savoyaires' productions
The Mikado (2025)
"A hilarious and creative retelling and reclothing of Gilbert and Sullivan's most successful work." —Erin Walker, Splash Magazine [more]
"Witty and well-tuned, this production is as entertaining an evening of theater as any audience could desire." —Colin Douglas, Chicago Theatre Review [more]
Iolanthe (2024)
"Spread your wings and fly as fast as possible to see this enchanting entertainment." —Colin Douglas, Chicago Theatre Review [more]
The Gondoliers (2023)
"Kingsley Day, the Savoyaires’ talented Artist of All Seasons, is back to direct. This master of the G&S operetta has once again produced a fantastic production of this delightful show. With gifted resident maestro Timothy Semanik as music director, who also conducts the show’s lush-sounding 43-member orchestra, this show has never sounded more beautiful. In addition, a huge roster of talented theatre artists contribute their expertise in bringing this show to life. They include choreographer Britta Schlicht, set designer Andy Armstrong, lighting designer Kurt Lemke, and costume designer Thomas K. Kieffer, among many, many others. Kingsley Day and Timothy Semanik have definitely achieved Italian Nirvana with this hilarious, tongue-in-cheek tale of the fictional King of Barataria. (Highly Recommended)"
—Colin Douglas, Chicago Theatre & Concert Reviews
