The Hot Mikado

KATS and MODDRAM are proud to present the S.A. premiere of the hot Gilbert and Sullivan hit adaptation.  Never before seen on SA shores, we bring you this toe-tapping, foot-stomping fest of jazz, blues and rock.

The original Gilbert and Sullivan operetta "The Mikado", widely considered to be their best and funniest, has been given a face-lift and an update.  Brought kicking and screaming into the 20th century, set in the 1940's, we meet Nanki-Poo, a wandering minstrel, seeking the love of his life, Yum-Yum.  But she's engaged to marry the Lord High Executioner, Ko-Ko.  What is Nanki-Poo to do?  He is also being romantically pursued by Katisha, daughter-in-law elect of the Mikado (ruler of Japan).  In a pickle indeed, Nanki-Poo must find a way to escape the affections of Katisha, and get Yum-Yum from Ko-Ko without losing his HEAD!  In the end, all turns out well and it's a wedding fest in the town of Titipu.
