  • Union Avenue Opera 733 N. Union Boulevard Saint Louis, Missouri 63108 (map)
  • "Baritone Wes Mason looked good and sang well as Billy, bringing complexity, charm, solid vocal technique and washboard abs to the role; it's easy to see why both the mill girls and his employer, Mrs. Mullin, would fall for him, and he gave a masterfully nuanced account of Billy's Soliloquy."
    -Sarah Bryan Miller, St. Louis-Dispatch

  • “Mason, who did such fine work as Fr. Flynn in last season's Doubt, triumphs as Billy. He's physically perfect for the role and his voice is rich, clear and strong, seeming to grow in endless power when it rises to those highest notes. His "Soliloquy," where he sings his macho anticipation of being a father is a highlight of the evening.”
    -Broadway World

  • ”Mason shines as well with the delightful Soliloquy, in which Bigelow extrapolates about his role as a dad for “young Bill” or a ‘father’ for his not-yet-born daughter, a tune that showcases both Mason’s fine voice and his nice turn acting the role of the ill-fated barker.”
