The Darien Review

The Troupers have an enchanting way with Gilbert and Sullivan that casts a magic wand over the audience and clears the mind of all mortal pollution.

The Village Gazette

“…Iolanthe as offered by the Troupers is as close as you can come to perfection in a G& S production this side of D’Oyly Carte.”
