From Le Nozze di Figaro:

“Steven Jepson...was in all respects an authoritative as well as amusing figure, as Count Almaviva should be.”
      Richard Covello, Chicago Tribune

“ This was a uniformly young cast, and Steven Jepson, with his flowing, Fabio-style locks and lithe build, brought an element of youthful impulsiveness to the role of the Count. With his crisp, commanding baritone, he was definitely the aristocrat in charge, but the heart of an ageless student prince beat beneath his frock coat... we couldn’t help chuckling as he tried to stay one step ahead of his unhappy wife and the unwilling Susanna.”
      Wynne Delacoma, Chicago Sun-Times

From Carmen:

" ...the production could have been titled "Escamillo"... Steven Jepson portrayed the torador's preening  self-confidence to perfection, capped by a smooth baritone that easily handled all the bravura singing required."                                         Raleigh News-Observer, North Carolina

“ Escamillo (Steven Jepson) demonstrated a superior theatrical capacity that more than matched his vocal facility ...”
     La Cronica, Granada, Spain

“ ... baritone Steven Jepson ... negotiated his toreador song well, and his heroic appearance lent credence to the role.”
     Opera News

“ Baritone Steven Jepson gives authority and a solid voice to the role of Escamillo, the bullfighter that seized the fickle Carmen’s imagination ...”
     The Des Moines Register

From Vanessa:

"As the longtime family doctor, Steven B. Jepson impressed with his warm, rounded baritone, equally adept at portraying tipsy bravado and unrequited love."
     Raleigh/Durham News-Observer, North Carolina

"Baritone Steven B. Jepson was delightful in the role of the Old Doctor, hilarious in his great comic drunk scene in Act II and touching in his bittersweet reflections upon saying goodbye in Act III."

From The Merry Widow:

“One of the best moments in Act One is Danilo’s entrance. ... (Steven) Jepson’s performance here is just a sample of good things to come. He makes a dashing Danilo ...”
     Fargo/Moorhead Forum, N.D.

From Don Pasquale:

“... the show was nearly stolen by Steven Jepson’s Malatesta .... The handsome, tall Iowan possessed great stage presence, well-enunciated singing, and expressively broad acting, perfectly suiting his role.”
     WI Light, Wisconsin

From Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street:

“Steven Jepson gave us a surprisingly cerebral Sweeney Todd, not unlike Anthony Hopkins’ Hannibal Lecter. The more internalized emotions of this Sweeney were a welcome departure from the usual maniacal portrayal, especially when Jepson sang My Friends to the trusted instruments of his trade. A joy to listen to, Jepson’s voice was made to sing Sondheim’s score.”
     Laurie Faith Gibson, nicoth.com

“As Sweeney, Steven Jepson is a wonder, perfect in the lead. He has a great big voice, precise and powerful. An area acting veteran, Jepson has never been better.”
     George Rawlinson, Courier-News

From Carousel:

“What made Carousel run so smoothly was a series of magnificent performances, beginning with Steven Jepson, whose Billy was terrifically powerful, both in voice and vividness.”
     George Rawlinson, Courier News

From South Pacific:

"In his CP debut, Steven Jepson follows in the footsteps of prestigious matinee idols who have portrayed Emile de Becque on stage and screen. Once you’ve heard him, you’re unlikely to feel that he’s standing in their shadow…”
     Perry Tannenbaum, Creative Loafing

From Illinois Symphony Orchestra pops concert:

“…Jepson continued the Gershwin love affair with an eloquent Embraceable You. His extensive opera and musical theater background became obvious, for this very classically trained singer delivered his songs not only with incredibly clear enunciation, but he also had the ability to pull his audience right into the song with him. ... Jepson was back for Figaro’s Cavatina (Largo al factotum) from Rossini’s Barber of Seville. Even in Italian, he made it easy to understand. Joined by [Erin] Booth for the Mozart duet (in English) from Don Giovanni, his Don Juan visibly and vocally seduced Booth’s Zerlina with skill.”
