"The Mikado," the world's most beloved comic opera, by Gilbert
& Sullivan, is now available as a fully staged and choreographed
concert version of the complete show requiring no actual sets; but
has minimal costume accessories, stage and hand props, a small chorus,
and piano accompaniment. This version, starring the members of Savoy
Express, is entitled "The Mikado - Lite" and is a reasonably
priced alternative to a full touring production, perfect for smaller
theatres.
Critics rave: "...a triumph!...the best musical event I have reviewed
this year...a 'don't miss.'" (San Mateo Times)
"Excellent...outstanding...Incredibly funny!...very well received
by the audience..." (Savoynet)
Always a sure-fire hit and a fun-filled evening, "The Mikado" boasts
some of the most popular songs in the G&S canon: "Three litte maids"
"I've got a little list" "My object all sublime" "Here's a howdy-do!"
"Tit-willow" and many, many more!
Add to that one of the most brilliantly crafted libretti ever written,
with some of the world's most famous characters ... Ko-Ko, Katisha,
Nanki-Poo, Yum-Yum -- and The Mikado himself, and you have an evening
guaranteed to please one and all!
