The Mikado - Presented by The Savoy Company

Experience the enduring joy of The Mikado - Gilbert & Sullivan's most popular work since its premiere in 1885! The Savoy Company's fresh, creative revisioning of this classic show, presented in partnership with the Japan America Society of Greater Philadelphia and Japanese American Citizens League, provides an opportunity for audiences to enjoy this masterwork of comedic and musical genius through the groovy lens of the 1960s. By updating makeup, costumes, staging, and portions of the libretto with aesthetic and terminology that reflects a more modern feel, this topsy-turvy production is sure to fill every heart with joy.

 

A masterful comedy that sings under the outstanding baton of Peter Hilliard and a professional orchestra, Savoy's production of The Mikado is stage directed by Bill Kiesling and choreographed by Makoto Hirano. Produced by William Kader, the show features a striking, professionally-designed set and charming costumes designed by Hether May.
