Major General Stanley has the first name Constance and is a lady rather than, as usual, a man; this substitution works beautifully, with Jillian Hemann delivering the goods in the show's most famous number, "I am the Very Model of a Modern Major General," even at warp speed in an encore, at the Pirate King's behest. – Martin Denton (NYTheatre.com) Review of “The Pirates of Penzance”
As an evil villain or as a genie in a lamp, Hemann lights up the stage with her perfectly blended voice. – Rachel Carruthers of the News Progress.
…Jill Hemann, displaying a Wagnerian Soprano and a nice sense of Humor – a la Helen Traubel – Carl Lebovitz, The Journal Gazette.
Most notable among the cast, Jill Hemann who does a powerful “Day By Day” – David Burke, The Herald Review
Kudos go to Jill Hemann as the narrator of the story…who pulled it all together with her charm and delightfully forceful antics – Racheal Curruthers, News Progress
