Synopsis Summary

Cultures collide in this swinging hot version of Gilbert & Sullivan’s The Mikado, set to big band, jazz, blues and gospel music. It’s a hilarious tale set in a land where outrageous laws sentence people to death for nearly any indiscretion.

 

“The most energetic, funny, toe-tapping musical comedy you’ll ever see” and praised its “new sassy, brassy energy.” - The Chicago Reader

“Highly entertaining!”- The Chicago Tribune
