Boy, I wanted to enjoy this way more. I have been an ardent fan of the Gilbert and Sullivan Society of Houston since I moved to Houston in 2021, and their post-pandemic performance of HMS Pinafore left me excited for future G&S Society of Houston productions. In 2023, they followed up HMS with Pirates of Penzance (the first of what I hope are many showings of this production), and again, I was excited to see what 2024 would bring. Unfortunately, with a change of venue, while there were some incredible performances, much was left to be desired.
The Gilbert & Sullivan Society of Houston will present RUDDIGORE at Cullen Performance Hall on July 20, 21, 27, and 28. Enjoy this classic operetta filled with humor, romance, and supernatural elements.
