When Barnaby Hughes reviewed a previous Magnum Opus production for Stage and Cinema (see "original article"), he wrote that the show "will leave you doubled over with laughter." Even knowing my own writers, I somewhat doubted that clichéd statement. But last night, the players took an actual awful screenplay ("The Yearbook," about misfit high school teens bent on revenge) and performed it word-for-word in a campy but restrained manner--and I simply do not remember the last time I laughed to the point that oxygen seemed a precious resource. I kept thinking to myself, "This company deserves to have their own theater so they could create a repertory and bring in tourists forever." I can't rave enough. Well done, all.... full review

There's more to this show than beats the odds! Magnum Opus crushes it once again with "The Year Book". With a show this funny I'd normally tip my hat the writer, but in this case the opposite is what one ought to do. Hilarious show top to bottom, perfectly adapted, directed, and acted by the tremendous Magnum Players. Absolutely delightful - I cannot recommend this show highly enough, especially for anyone working (or trying to find work) in the entertainment industry. Go see it!... full review

Simply put: an hour with Magnum Opus is the most fun you'll have all Fringe. See this show.... full review

My wife and I never miss a Magnum Opus show, and they have outdone themselves with "The Yearbook." Oh, it's so good -- 'cause it's so bad! The (unintentionally) awful script gives the Players great material, and they tackle it with gusto. The whole cast is terrific and the direction breezy. You'll laugh til it hurts. ... full review

Great performances in a sweetly awful script: everything you've come to expect from the Magnum Opus Players!... full review

"Magnum Opus" is an hilarious and, for anyone close to the arts world, tremendously cathartic show. Incredibly well staged, fantastically acted, and (of course) atrociously written, the show is a satisfying work, far more entertaining than the sum of the words on the page (thank God). I realize it may seem counterintuitive to praise the talents of the cast in a show that is intentionally awful, but that they are able to do so much with such bad material is a testament to their talents. See this show!... full review

Hilarious, fun, and definitely worth seeing!... full review
