You will not want to miss New York Gilbert & Sullivan Player’s new and critically acclaimed production of The Mikado!
Join Messrs. Gilbert, Sullivan and D’Oyly Carte themselves on a fantastic voyage to a land where the matchless libretto, beautiful music, and all of your favorite characters await! Enjoy the abounding absurdity and astounding wit that are as fresh and full of laughter now as when Gilbert & Sullivan first brought the story to life.
The production starkly contrasts historical treatments of The Mikado in several ways. The character representation onstage-from the principals to the chorus-are of a decidedly Victorian English company, with fantastical highlights and juxtapositions between an imagined Japan and anachronistic elements from 1880’s London; fueled only by Gilbert’s own imagination. This production actively seeks diversity in its casting, welcoming performers of all backgrounds to share the magic of Gilbert & Sullivan with audiences from all backgrounds as well.
