Lamplighters Music Theatre Presents THE MIKADO This August

Lamplighters open their 60th Season with Gilbert & Sullivan's greatest hit The Mikado. A playful tale set in a make-believe Japanese town where flirting is a capital offence, The Mikado is actually a satire on Victorian British society.
 
Nanki-Poo has fallen in love with the beautiful Yum-Yum, fiancée to the Lord High Executioner Ko-Ko. When the Mikado, emperor of Japan, demands the execution of Ko-Ko, and Nanki-Poo volunteers to take Ko-Ko's place under the condition that he first be allowed to marry Yum-Yum, chaos, desperation, and comical mayhem ensue.
 
Live orchestra, gorgeous sets and costumes, and the amazing voices of the Lamplighters – long considered one of the best Gilbert & Sullivan producers in the world!
