Gilbert and Sullivan's THE MIKADO November 5, 2011

Young lovers, family squabbles, corrupt city officials, an insanely twisted legal system, and a government gone mad - just another day in the big city? No, it's the crazy, topsy-turvy world of Gilbert and Sullivan’s slyly satirical musical comedy THE MIKADO. While Gilbert was careful not to name names in his satires, audiences of the day were quick to draw parallels between the foibles of the characters and those of politicians at the time - a pastime that today’s audiences still enjoy!
