The Mikado

By Gilbert and Sullivan
March 20th, 21st and 22nd of 2009
Lila Cockrell Theatre
Sung in English with English/Spanish Supertitles

Gilbert and Sullivan are the undisputed masters of comic opera and the proud parents of the modern musical. That their works are more in demand today than when they were created over a century ago is ample proof of their lasting brilliance. The hapless lovers in The Mikado are mercilessly buffeted by social restrictions, legal inconsistencies, judicial inequities, government stupidities, and that's just the first act! It would be absolutely tragic if it weren't so hysterically funny.
