	Stage Review: Savoyards march out lively 'Yeomen of Guard'
		Right off the bat, "The Yeomen of the Guard, or, The Merryman and His Maid" has all the great Gilbert & Sullivan trademarks: elaborate ado about the very improbable, fueled by misunderstandings, eccentric characters, fast action and zany complications.
		By no coincidence, it is The Pittsburgh Savoyards -- now, incredibly, in their 60th season -- who bring "The Yeomen of the Guard" to us.
		But Phoebe Meryll (Zanna Fredland), daughter to the Sergeant of the Yeomen of the Guard (Bill Bluemle), falls in love with Fairfax -- to the chagrin of his jailer and assistant tormentor, Wilfred Shadbolt (Corey Nile Wingard), who has been Phoebe's suitor.

		For the serious inquirer or fancier of The Yeomen of the Guard, I recommend a stop at the Savoynet's Yeomen of the Guard Discussion Archive.
		There are serious and lighthearted discussions of: the missing songs, whether Jack Point really dies in the finale, the two sides of various characters, what happened in 1888 around the word, and MUCH more.
		Yeomen is a wonderful show with outstanding music and more complex characters than in many of the other G&S plays.

		But at least there's still The Yeomen of the Guard, enduringly popular and now receiving an eight-week London run courtesy of the D'Oyly Carte company.
		It is this that he and WS Gilbert considered to be their best piece of work together, and it is probably no coincidence that, eager to be taken seriously, they favoured the darkest of their operettas.
		Nor is the Yeomen one of GandS's more satirical works so, while there are some fine Gilbertian gags, there's not much opportunity for inserting scathing, topical jokes.

		At any rate, Yeomen of the Guard is my personal favorite GandS opera, beating out even the Mikado, and this performance is outstanding in all respects.
		Richard Suart is in both operas, as the fool, Jack Point, in Yeomen, and as the Judge in Trial by Jury, and he does a superb job in both roles.
		The Yeomen of the Guard has some of Sullivan's best music in it, GandS fans who have not heard it are often surprised how excellent it truly is.

		"Yeomen of the Guard," now playing in an excellent production at the Duke Ellington School of the Arts, stands out among the Gilbert and Sullivan works.
		It is the most complex in plot, the most serious in musical style and, without sacrificing any of its comic verve, the most ambiguous in its mandatory happy ending.
		Catherine Huntress-Reeve conducts a sensitive, musically alert performance and Ray Cullom's adept stage direction unfolds the complex plot with exemplary clarity.

		"The Yeomen of the Guard" is a Gilbert and Sullivan comic operetta that features a jester, but nothing's particularly jolly about how this plot plays out.
		Falsely convicted of sorcery by an unseen cousin, Col. Fairfax will be sprung by his onetime commanding officer, Sgt. Meryll (William Neely) of the Yeomen of the Guard — basically, the monarch's wardens — and the sergeant's children, infatuated Phoebe and newly appointed tower guard Leonard.
		It is dark and confusing, in contrast to the bright red yeomen uniforms most of the men's chorus wears.
