...wasn't willing to put aside some of the beauty of her voice and simply bellow out her lines. And Yum-Yum (Deborah Shaw) was clearly inadequate in places--she sang sweetly, but without sufficient strength. Most of the others were better suited to their roles--Ko-Ko (Dennis Crowley), Lord High Executioner, was the most enjoyable portrayal of the production; Crowley wrung the most drama out of his role, remembering that Gilbert's words are as important as Sullivan's music and usually funnier. Crowley has the best Gilbert and Sullivan voice in the cast, a compound of condescension...
...recital opened with the Clarinet Trio in E of Mozart K. 498, with Robert Crowley, clarinet, Candace Miller, viola, and Marta Dabezies, piano.

They were both foursquare against state income and sales taxes, and they were both touted as "excellent candidates" by New Hampshire's reigning superconservative, William Loeb, publisher of the Manchester Union Leader. Loeb backed them both in their respective primaries, but threw his newspaper's support to Thomson in the main event. Possibly he simply soured on Crowley, who had lost a bid for the governorship in 1970 despite...
Nixon won New Hampshire's four electoral votes handily, and Democratic Senator Thomas Mclntyre turned back a stiff challenge by the GOP's Wesley Powel. Three Men--Democrat Roger Crowley, Republican Meldrim Thomson and independent Malcolm McLane--were locked in a tight race for the governorship...
