FEATURED REVIEWS
Reviews from Naughty Marietta
"Marc Schapman, is a favorite on the Winter Opera and Union Avenue Opera stages. Here he sings the comic side-kick, Simon. His gift for low comedy doesn’t mask his very fine voice." - KDHX
"The fine supporting cast included Marc Schapman as Simon O’Hara" - HEC Media
"There are some great supporting comic roles in “Naughty Marietta,” and they were played by great comic singers. Tenor Marc Schapman, a familiar figure on local opera stages, was wonderfully fatuous as the Simon O’Hara, the least stalwart member of Captain Rick’s band." - Chuck Lavazzi, Stage Left
Reviews from Ragtime
“Marc Schapman affectingly conveys the warmth, optimism and strong work and family ethics of Tateh whose resiliency triumphs over myriad adversities in the New World.” – Ladue News
“Marc Schapman plays Tateh, the Latvian immigrant silhouette-maker. His is one of the most powerful performances in the evening, as Tateh (“Daddy”) struggles to feed and protect his beloved daughter. Later in the evening he shows a great transformation: Tateh has become a flamboyant silent-film director.” – Broadway World St. Louis
“The cast play and sing splendidly throughout…As the immigrant artist Tateh, Marc Schapman struggles until he creates the movies” – HEC Media
“The voices are magnificent…Schapman as the dedicated and creative Tateh” – Snoop’s Theatre Thoughts
“The ten-minute opener is perfectly sung by the ensemble, with marvelous solo turns by many of the featured performers, including outstanding singers …Marc Schapman as Tateh…I wanted to jump to my feet applauding this vibrant, powerful, exhilarating intro!!” – KDHX
