Hot Mikado
Hot Mikado
Book and lyrics adapted by David H. Bell.
Music adapted and arranged by Rob Bowman.
August 8-31, 2008
RLT Sutton Main Stage Theatre
Gilbert & Sullivan’s comedic opera meets the big band sound of Gene Krupa. The town square of Titipu resembles the Cotton Club of Harlem in the 1940s; zoot suits are cut from the silk of Japanese kimonos; and the Three Little Maids from School sound just like the Andrews Sisters. Nanki-Poo has fallen in love with Yum Yum, but she’s been promised to the Lord High Executioner. Flirting is punishable by beheading; fortunately, executions are few and far between. When the Mikado, the “biggest cat” of Japan (and tap master extraordinaire), comes to town to investigate, true love triumphs.
