What the critics say about Savoyaires' productions

"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)"

“Thumbs-up for Savoyaires’ The Gondoliers: a large cast with great singing and excellent 30-piece orchestra.” —Wendi Kromash, Evanston RoundTable

“Kingsley Day has taken one of Gilbert and Sullivan’s lesser-known operettas and given it his own special impish twist. It’s a thrilling, tuneful titillation that rewards audiences with its hilarious characters, its silly songs in true G&S style, and its fairy tale-inspired story.” —Colin Douglas, Chicago Theatre & Concert Reviews
