From the Sarasota Herald-Tribune
"It’s rare but pleasant to discover something totally different on the stage of the Bradenton Kiwanis Studio Theatre in the Manatee Performing Arts Center. But “Yank!” a musical love story, certainly stands apart from the more traditional fare that has filled the intimate theater space in the last three years.In some ways, “Yank!” is fairly traditional itself. It’s a charming and moving musical about U.S. Army soldiers who fall in love but try to hide their feelings from others during basic training in World War II, and how their efforts to protect themselves take them on different paths during a time of severe discrimination against gays..." -Jay Handelman
From the Bradenton Herald
"But the aspect of the show that leaves the most indelible impression is the music. Composer Joseph Zellnik* and his lyricist brother David have packed the show packed with tuneful and immediately engaging songs that set the era and give the show the feel of a classic American musical. "Yank!" has 21 musical numbers, including reprises, and there's hardly a bad one in the bunch..." -Marty Clear
