The Hot Mikado
| |
Masquers Playhouse
105 Park Place
November 4th - December 17th
All seats $20
Fridays & Saturdays at 8 pm
Sunday matinees at 2 pm November 13th, 20th, December 4th
adapted by David H. Bell from The Mikado by Gilbert & Sullivan;
directed by Ellen Brooks
Our season comes to a rousing finish as East meets West in The Hot Mikado. In the mythical village of Titi-Pu, where flirting is illegal, a young man on the run from his over-eager fiancée is searching for the woman who stole his heart. Unfortunately, she has already been promised to her much older guardian. A series of seemingly fool-proof plans are hatched, only to be foiled by the merciless Mikado. A snappy, 1940s-style adaptation of a Gilbert and Sullivan classic!
