In Spring 2013, East meets West head-on in this hilarious 1940’s-style updating of the perennial G&S classic. With the music transmuted into blues, Cab Calloway swing, hot gospel, scorching torch songs, and ‘Three Little Maids’ turned into a sexy Andrew Sisters’ show-stopper, this all-singing and tap-dancing colourful show is certain to provide an evening of feel-good entertainment.
Based on the traditional Gilbert & Sullivan’s tale, David H Bell & Rob Bowman have transformed this famous operetta into a swinging score. It’s the hysterical twisted tale of two lovers that cannot live without each other as they are both forced to be married to unwanted suitors. Everything heats up when the Mikado is on his way, and an execution must take place in the town of Titipu! But is that what he’s really coming for…? This production will definitely not disappoint any musical fan, it’s got everything from the old days, just done in a new way!
