...probably more famous songs than any except Pinafore. The traditional production always gets a certain number of standard extra-curricular laughs out of the action accompanying the more ludicrous songs. But this performance is an unmitigated howl from beginning to end, thanks mainly to the imaginative direction of Julius Novick and two devastating performances by David Stone and Steve Garlick...
...staging is in every way impressive. Aided by a magnificent set by James Peters, Sarah Sweezy's beautiful costumes, and choreography by Elizabeth Theiler, the visual aspect of the play is quite stunning.

He has obviously striven for split-second timing in speech, gesture, and sound cues--a facet of the play that presents unusually frequent and tricky demands. His pacing never drags...
