The Mikado

A comic operetta with a Japanese theme. Songs such as ‘Three Little Maids from School’, ‘A Wandering Minstrel’, ‘A Most Humane Mikado’ etc. One of [Gilbert] and [Sullivan]’s most popular works. In the town of Titipu, local government has fallen into the hands of two dubious characters: Ko-Ko, in charge of public executions; and Pooh-Bah, who has a finger in every pie. A young man arrives who, unknown to most, is Nanki-Poo, son of the Mikado. Fleeing an arranged marriage to the elderly Katisha, he falls for the beautiful Yum-Yum, Ko-Ko’s fiancée. When the Mikado arrives, thirsty for executions, Ko-Ko thinks he has the perfect plan…until Katisha turns up, bent on revenge.All-male cast
