Hot Mikado
September 29–October 15, 2017
Cultures collide in this swinging hot version of Gilbert & Sullivan’s The Mikado, set to big band, jazz, blues and gospel music. It’s a hilarious tale set in a land where outrageous laws sentence people to death for nearly any indiscretion.
Hot Mikado is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).
Based on "The Mikado" by W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan
Originally Produced at Ford's Theatre, Washington, D.C., Frankie Hewitt, Producing Director
