Hot Mikado
15 - 20 February 2010
Hot Mikado follows the handsome and rebellious Nanki-Poo, who falls in love with the beautiful Yum-Yum. However, Yum-Yum is engaged to the powerful Ko-Ko. As Nanki-Poo and Yum-Yum’s forbidden romance blossoms, they must navigate the absurdities of Titipu’s laws and traditions.
Hot Mikado is a comedic reinterpretation of Gilbert and Sullivan’s classic operetta The Mikado, where East meets West head-on in this hilarious 1940's-style updating of the perennial Gilbert and Sullivan classic. With the music transmuted into blues, Cab Calloway swing, hot gospel, scorching torch songs and 'Three Little Maids' turned into an Andrew Sisters' show-stopper, this zoot-suited, tap-dancing colourful show is certain to provide the ideal evening out for the whole family.
