Freeport Performing Arts Center Presents THE MIKADO, Now thru 8/5
by BWW News Desk - July 30, 2012
There are just three perfromances left of THE MIKADO at the Freeport Performing Arts Center. Set in the fictional Japanese village of Titipu, Gilbert & Sullivan's comic opera satirizes aspects of British society, culture and manners circa 1860 that have remarkable parallels to modern-day American society. But setting aside the deeper meaning: the music is terrific, the characters are marvelous, and the story is full of the comic twists, turns and wordplay you expect from G&S. They will keep you laughing right to the end.
