KISS ME, KATE at Central City Opera as Lois/Bianca. Directed by Kenneth Paul Cazan and choreographed by Danny Pelzig.

"After 'Another Op'nin', Another Show" launched a strong, theatrically rich overtone, a glut of dated dialogue slowed the show to a crawl. "Why Can't You Behave?" delivered by Lauren Gemelli as Lois Lane/Bianca helped to reignite the performance. Her characters were designed to steal the show, and Gemelli's singing, dancing, and acting delivered the goods. Tour de force not a strong enough phrase to describe her sparkling, sexy take on 'Always True to You in My Fashion.'" - David Sckolnik, Colorado City Gazette

"Lauren Gemelli bewitches as a sexy, well-sung Lois Lane/Bianca. Her singing of 'Always True to You in My Fashion' and 'Why Can't You Behave?' in tandem with Jeffrey Scott Parsons' animated comic portrayal of Bill Calhoun/Lucentio, is dazzling" - David Marlowe, Marlowe's Musings

"As Lois Lane, Gemelli nearly stops the show with her rendition of 'Always True to You in My Fashion.'" - Erik Fitzgerald, Onstage Colorado

"The production is flawlessly cast with Broadway-style performers....Lauren Gemelli as Lois/Bianca was just the kind of brassy dame -- to adopt the sexist language of the time -- that every '40s musical needs. Her hit number 'Always True to You in my Fashion' was an ideal representation of her loose but lovable character." - Peter Alexander, Sharps & Flatirons

"Yet another exciting discovery came in the principal dual role of Lois Lane/Bianca. In her company debut, Lauren Gemelli displayed a wonderfully focused mezzo and uninhibited pizzaz in her extended show-stopper, 'Always True to You in My Fashion." She's also a terrific dancer. - Marc Schulgold, Opera News
