- June 6, 2000 Charleston The Post and Courier
- In the "Medieval Bestiary" segment, Gary Poster sang the role of Leo the Lion in a marvelous bass-baritone ("I only eat children when hungry").
- May 3, 1999 Raleigh News and Observer.
- The finest singing of the evening came from Gary Poster as Alidoro, whose rich bass-baritone voice had the necessary ring to carry through the orchestra.
- May 4, 1998 Raleigh News and Observer.
- As Figaro, the high bass Gary Poster was impressive, his warm, expressive voice singing out in his solos and the many ensembles.
- May 13-19, 1998 Raleigh Spectator.
- . . . The Figaro was Gary Poster, an excellent bass-baritone who hails from Annapolis. With a rich voice and close attention to the words, he made the part believable. . . .
- May 13-19, 1998 Raleigh Independent Weekly:
- . . . Our other impresarios should particularly keep baritone Gary Poster on file for the future. His Figaro was exceptionally well sung and acted. . . . [given five stars of a possible five]
